1) Explain the specific feature that make Things Fall Apart a modern classic.​

Answer 1

Chinua Achebe’s novel, Things Fall Apart, is structured around the life and culture of an African Tribe, the Ibo. This tale is of how the Ibo lost their way and themselves, from the perspective of the main character, Okonkwo. While many novels center around the conflict and its resolution, Achebe breaks from this tradition. His novel is structured such that the life of the Ibo is showcased before the main conflict. The arrival of the white men is central to the story. Their arrival is what changes the Ibo and other peoples of Africa, causing conflict on the individual, family, and community levels. In this novel, there is no true resolution. The main character takes his own life from shame, and the conflicts never come to a clean resolution as they do in so many other novels. Rather, the lack of a resolution helps to show the despair and sense of loss that surrounds the conflict. Achebe uses this lack of resolution to showcase the fractured history of Africa, where many conflicts are still unresolved. The plot is broken into three parts, each with differing circumstances and points of focus.
