To truly understand the inner workings of any piece, one must be familiar with the four main types of conflict: Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Society, and Man vs. Self. Many literary works include more than one of these forms of conflict, including Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart.

    In Umuofia, a city in the novel Things Fall Apart, masculinity is highly regarded as a moral. It’s comparable with words such as courage and power, and with just about any other quality that proves a person in being self-reliant. Actually, it’s considered an insult if a man is called an agbala, a woman. In the novel it says, “no matter how prosperous a man was, if he was unable to rule his women and his children he was not really a man”. There is a sharp contrast between femininity and masculinity – being, women are to be controlled or the followers where as the men were the controllers or leaders.…

    Justice can be defined as “the maintenance or administration of what is just by law,” but this does not fully capture the connotation of the term “just.” To fully understand the concept of “just,” one must explore the more ambiguous concepts of culture, religion, and class. In Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, this ambiguity is explored as justice is dissected through the portrayal of conflict between Christian missionary tradition and Tribal legal action. Nwoye’s characterization mirrors this conflict as Nwoye’s personal ideals clash with his family loyalties.…

    Achebe states that in her ordinary life she “was a widow with two children” (Achebe 49). It is very interesting that he specifically refers to them in a way that would make the reader think of two very separate people. It shows the way the people of the Ibo culture think about the roles of women. They have normal everyday lives similar to the women of Heart of darkness but there are also specific roles that seem to be specific to women only, which have great importance to their culture. In Ibo culture women have another very important role to play in their gods.…

    Every culture has their own ideas of art, literature, customs and other original views according to their culture. These ideas about one’s culture are called universals. People have their own universals but the great part of universals is not having them but also sharing them with other cultures. By sharing universals of one's culture with others it can change people from another culture. When one applies Kwame Anthony Appiah’s idea of Universals in Cosmopolitanism to the character, Nwoye in Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart, Nwoye would change through the sharing of religion of the white men and other ideas.…

    While attending St. Agnes, I read about Chinua Achebe's Things Fall Apart and felt a sense of admiration for the way the book was written. The book opens up to the reader and shows how civilization can affect tribal life, this broadened my understanding because I originally thought that becoming civilized was good. But this is not the case for the main protagonist, Okonkwo, who was originally considered nothing but lower than dirt in his tribe because of his father and how he badly manged money; when it come to using it for his own family or for personal use. Okonkwo desired greatly to never become like his father, whom he considered weaker than a woman. After going through hardships, Okonkwo achieves high status in his own tribe but doesn't…
