Confronted with universal conscious filled with hazy, negative conception of African reality appalled works as Heart of Darkness and Mr. Johnson and Chinua Achebe confirmed in 1958 to "inform the outside world regarding Ibo cultural traditions".
One can appreciate then Achebe's inclusion of universal concepts in his novel as means of bridging the cultural gap with audience and reiterating that Africans are in end and human just as members of any other race.
Woven throughout the text of Things fall Apart are universal themes in form of images, concepts and situations.
Some hold that novel is not a universal novel and sighting inexplicable, foreign practices Achebe includes in book without completely explaining them if he gives the novel a universal appeal.
One should not forget one intent of Achebe was to present Igbo culture through more objective eyes and also through native eyes.
Making reader to sketch logical endings of their own with those matters and he succeeds in challenging his reader to check such idiosyncrasies of his culture as it is shown .
