Which two characters does Achebe describe as being “ill-fated” in Things Fall Apart.
In-s [12.5K]

Answer:

Chinua Achebe describes Unoka and Okonkwo as ill-fated

Explanation:

In Chapter 3 of Things Fall Apart, Achebe writes:

Unoka was an ill-fated man. He had a bad chi or personal god, and evil fortune followed him to the grave, or rather to his death, for he had no grave. He died of the swelling which was an abomination to the earth goddess...He was carried to the Evil Forest and left to die.

Okonkwo attempts to determine his own fate. Knowing his father was a failure, he works the yam fields twice as hard to compensate. However, Okonwko is also a character in a tragedy, both personal and cultural (both he and his tribe will "fall apart" and die). In tragedies, characters are engineered for a downfall. Obviously, as a character, Okonkwo has no control over his and his tribe's death. Yet, Okonkwo fights to the death, regardless. So, in a way, he chooses his fate by beheading the messenger. He chooses to be placed in a situation which allows him to be aggressive and violent so as to cause his own self-destruction by violent means.

dusya [7]

Answer:While listening to the podcast, I noticed that the narrator paused before saying certain phrases. For example, he paused before saying "but no women” when he first introduced the idea that women did not have the right to vote. These pauses provided cues for important ideas and emphasized meaning. Because of this, I was able to better understand the important facts about women’s fight for equality during this time.
