Chinua Achebe's 'Things Fall Apart': Heroism
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. One can reasonably assert that there existed a sequence of social change as a means by which to describe the impact of the intrusive European culture upon the indigenous culture of Umuofia. Having viewed Umuofia's culture as tending to be relatively stationary as well as harboring unstable equilibrium, one can explain the validity of such a statement by describing various events of social heroism that occur in the novel which can effectively justify its truth.

Chinua Achebe's "A Man For The People"
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. Nigerian existence may have been significantly oppressive under the rule of British imperialism; however, the struggles that Africans faced after this rule had been eliminated served to more defiantly strengthen their quest for independence. In Chinua Achebe's critic of African politics in "A Man For The People," the fictional account becomes alarmingly lifelike, inasmuch as the coup that ultimately overthrows Nanga's system of abuse eerily and directly mirrors the real-life coup that takes place in 1966. No additional sources cited.

Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart": Tragic Hero
[ send me this essay ]
5 pages in length. As the protagonist of Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart," Okonkwo ultimately ends up as the tragic hero as a direct result of his inability to alter the course of his life. Defining this particular concept calls for one's close interpretation of what the protagonist's role truly represents; with that, it becomes quite simple to understand how the lead character can so easily slip into the tragic state he eventually inhabits. Through his difficult and sometimes life-changing experiences, Okonkwo comes to recognize what it is his own self-knowledge has gained through his struggles. No additional sources cited.
