I believe art corresponds with the book Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe for many reasons. One primary reason is because art is a form of expression used to express oneself and what he or she believes. In the book Things Fall apart there are various ways that Okonwko expresses himself and his beliefs. Okonkwo uses his lifestyle of cultural dominance to express what he feels is the proper way to live. Okonkwo uses his envirnment to express what he believes, even when murder is his way of doing so. Towards the end of the book, Okonkwo murders a court messenger, with the intent of killing more, as means of voicing his opinion on what needed to be done within his society. This relates to art because art depicts emotion, especially that of change.
