Things Fall Apart: Thoughts
I personally am actually enjoying this book, however there are some plot points I do not like. For example, when Okonkwo is beating his wife. Or, when Okonkwo kills Ikemefuna. Although, I don't like it, I do think it was necessary for the plot and for Okonkwo's character development. The author wanted us to see that he is kind of emotionally inarticulate. Also, I predict Enzima's going to die, due to some foreshadowing in the book where the priestess of Agbala(something along those lines) is coming to get her and Ekwefi snaps to attention "like an animal smelling death." One thing I'm looking forward to is seeing how Okonkwo reacts to the attempt at colonialism. He's a very proud man, so he may not adapt very well to the new changes.

ReplyDeleteYea, I didn't like reading when he beat his wife because it shows just how different times were back then, compared to now.
