Things Fall Apart is Chinua Achebe’s first novel. It is set in an African village Umoufia. The village is full of peace and prosperity and has its own beliefs and culture. The ‘egwugwu’ or the ancestral spirits exercise administration and judgement over Umoufia. It is only with the arrival of the Missionaries that things start falling apart as they gain converts from the clan. We find the gist of the novel in the words of Obierika who says, “The white man is very clever. He came quietly and peaceably with his religion. We were amused at his foolishness and allowed him to stay. Now he has won our brothers, and our clan no longer act like one. He has put a knife on the things that held us together and we have fallen apart.”
