Theme

In Things Fall Apart, the author Chinua Achebe, communicates the idea that a strong resistance to change often brings with it detrimental effects, as is the case Okonkwo. Change is an idea that must be accepted and this acknowledgment is something that Okonkwo greatly struggled with. This lifelong conflict eventually led him to suicide and serves as an example in the novel as one who was unable to come to terms with change.
