In Things Fall Apart, the main character, Okonkwo is a very "manly" man. He sees anything related to art or music as effeminate and weak. Poetry would be seen as weak as well by Okonkwo and he would not approve. For this reason, poetry does not play a major role in the overall theme of our book and the author does not really emphasize it much at all.
