In the first part of the novel "Things Fall Apart" , written by Achebe, the author narrates the events in an objective way, without giving personal opinion of showing feelings and symphathy. The readers are given with the possibility to provide the text with his or her own emotions. The readers also have the decision about the characters. It is through the readers' perspective wheter the characters are estimable or even if their behaviour is justified. This purely objective tone appears through out all the first part of tve text. The tone in the first part is also supported by the use of native fables, parables and words which gives the story a rustic and quaint tone. It is towards the end when the author, Achebe, starts showing feelings towards the Umuofia.

Answer:

I think that the first half of the book is pretty objectively written. Achebe does not tell the feelings of the main characters or even of any of the characters really. It seems as though it is a third outer voice that is narrating the story but the reader recieves no insight on the characters which leads them to draw their own concluseions about what the characters are like. Achebe tells the story so that instead of filling the book with the ideas of the characters it is more informative, which is a large reason for why he even wrote the book. The tone of the first half of the book is widely said to be similar to that of a fable which I think is no accident because Achebe strove to represent the culture and traditions of the Igbo people as accurately as possible. The story is told in the beginning like it is the voice of the villiage which helps the reader feel like the book is more rustic and authentic.

suter [353]

According to this passage, Margarita’s thoughts help the reader infer that Mrs. Flowers “thinks of Momma as a friend”. Evidence is shown in the passage that when Momma and Mrs. Flowers are talking, Mrs. Flowers is giggling but not to make fun of Momma’s way of speaking but because of what Momma is telling her. Also, by mentioning in the text that they engaged in an “intimate conversation” shows that Mrs. Flowers is not embarrassed or does not feel superior to Momma. Instead, what this passage shows is that Margarita is embarrassed by Momma’s way of speaking: “I waited for the ground to open up and swallow me”.
