Can i ask a question? What unique aspects of thie tbo Village culture in Nigeria does the excerpt "Things Fall Apit show? Do yod think Okor a good exemplar of the the culture Thank you
Until the arrival of slave raiders and colonizers, Igbo society thrived on governance by consensus, reverence for the memory of ancestors and the freedom of every individual to aspire to the be the best version of himself. Or herself. It was a stable society - protected by age groups and other equally responsible outfits. Power transited in Igbo society like a well-oiled machine. Everyone recognized his place in it. There was no king of the Igbos - no one man was that smart or powerful. Instead, there were elders, who typically were first sons of their ancestors, and priests who led righteous lives and thus qualified to sometimes intermediate between the people and their God. The coming of European merchants, propelled by greed and a desire to control rather than understand the workings of Igbo society, shredded the very fabric of it. It has yet to recover. Thus, things did fall apart. Okonkwo is not atypical of the Igbo man in his thinking of h is place in history. However, his fearlessness, fueled as it were by a fear of failure put him out there. And when his own people would not join him in confronting a well-armed army of occupation, he did what if he were Japanese would be considered honorable (harakiri), but which in Igbo culture was an abomination. He took his own life in order not to deal with humiliation on his own turf. I hope this helps - I am Igbo.
