The primary step of imposition is changing the fundamental Igbo mentality. Achebe realizes that understanding the culture itself presupposes the understanding of its collapse.After firmly establishing the fabric of the society, Achebe describes its encroaching colonization. Thus, his gradual downfall parallels the breakdown and dissolution of Igbo culture. Achebeâs emphasis on the values and beliefs of Igbo society is essential to recognizing why âthings fall apart.â? Okonkwoâs character embodies these traditions. Although it may be difficult to empathize with such radical traditions, one can nevertheless sympathize with them after thoroughly understanding their foundations. In effect, the reader is immersed into the society rather than simply informed of it. However, unlike a common historian or textbook, Achebe incorporates a personal aspect to his accounts he not only describes the actions, but also details the reasoning and values which support them. For example, twins were viewed as an abomination in Igbo society and, accordingly, would be abandoned and killed. In his description, he attempts to be an objective historian as he relates all aspects of the culture, even those that seem outrageous.
Both characters inevitably fail as the discord between the cultures proves to be insurmountable.Although colonialism is the main focus of Chinua Achebeâs novel, a significant portion of the book is devoted to establishing Igbo culture, untouched by western influences. In an analogous way, Nnu Ego attempts to fulfill her traditional goals of motherhood amidst the âmodernâ? and colonized city of Lagos.
For Okonkwo, the colonial imposition undermines every value and influence that has shaped his existence. Essentially, they both are enslaved by their inherent devotion to tradition. The gradual downfall of Okonkwo and the eventual solitude of Nnu Ego are byproducts of these clashing attitudes. Nonetheless, Nnu Ego and Okonkwo endure a parallel struggle with the conflicting cultures of Igbo tradition and colonial society. The coaches and CF1 staff are nothing short of amazing, and their passion and drive for this sport is contagious.In their respective works Things Fall Apart and The Joys of Motherhood, both Chinua Achebe and Buchi Emecheta depict the effects of colonialism on Igbo society.While Achebe demonstrates the gradual process of colonial imposition, Buchi Emecheta examines its aftermath.
