Answer 1

Chinua Achebe was a Nigerian novelist. He had a title of chieftain of Igbo tribe and wrote novels about its customs. That was portrayed as sophisticated, passed down through generations.

Westerners may mistaken them as ‘primitive and savage’. But Achebe showed Igbo people's rich cultural background through his narrations. Igbo proverbs, ‘the art of conversation", were frequently quoted in his novels.

The non-violent nature of Igbo was demonstrated by events like the peaceful agreement with the Mbaino tribe during a murder in Igbo by a Mbaino man.

The

novel “Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, while often thought to

offer readers an accurate portrait of Igbo or African culture in

general, often does not effectively represent the culture it seeks to

portray. More generally, one of the challenges of the fiction genre, and

of the frequent criticisms lodged against it, is the manner in which

history, people, and place are integrated into the narrative. Writing a

fictive narrative that is based on real people, places, and events poses

some inherent dangers, not the least of which is the possibility of

inaccurate or partial representation of Igbo culture.

This is particularly true for novelists who are writing about

non-Western cultures for Western audiences. Such is the case in “Things

Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, in which the author writes about members

of a Nigerian tribe.
