How does a snake reference in Things Fall Apart bring to mind a common archetype in literature?

English
1 answer:
Nikolay [14]3 years ago
3 0
The snake or serpent as a literary archetype hearkens back to the serpent of Eden (Satan) who tempted Eve to eat of the Fruit of the Tree of Knowledge, who then tempted Adam. This led to the two being cast out of the Garden, Original Sin, etc. In the case of the killing of the python in Things Fall Apart, it could be argued that this is an inversion of the Judeo-Christian imagery of the serpent as harbinger of evil and suffering. The python is a symbol of the clan's strength, and the osu who boasts of killing it later dies, thus reaffirming the faith of the tribe in their traditional gods as opposed to the God of the missionaries.

• Have you ever felt like an outsider in a group? What made you feel that way? How were you treated by others?
bearhunter [10]

The day was cool and airy. I sat on the bleachers, watching as my old group of friends stood snickering, and pointing in my direction. Mumbled laughter echoed around me, and the spinning sensation molded queasily with the pounding of my aching heart. I no longer was apart of them, I was an outsider. A crystalline tear flickered down my cheek, as I sat in remembrance, and learned to accept what now was my reality.


Hope this helped. :):)
