Things fall apart

At the end of the 1800’s, after many companies slave great part of the population of West Africa. The empire moves to colonized Africa. One strategy was trough the religion. They send the missionaries to teach a new faith and destroy the culture of the people. In that way be ruled and accept the government of the colonizers. Okonkwo in different ways show the life and culture before and after the colonization. The destruction of the culture started when the invasive force destroy the hope and impost new rules in all the aspects of life. For Okonkwo his culture, religion and rules disappeared. Okonkwo seal his hope at the end to recover his life based in his culture but now his world don’t have sense “He mourned for the clan, which he saw breaking up falling apart, and he mourned for the warlike men of Umuofia, who had so unaccountably become soft like a women” (183) in a new faith his people is dived and he is extremely against of the change. Things Fall Apart is the definition of the colonization and how colonizers create the profound division in faith and intolerance for the old culture. Not was a process of assimilation was an imposition in all aspects. At the end Okonkwo decided to die in total denied of his own culture. He didn’t accept the fact of the people change even his own son. In other words Okonkwo decide don’t fight alone. Okonkwo is intolerant he resist to change and accept a new culture is impossible.
