Question

The animal leaders in Achebe's myth use violence to seize and wield power. What lessons do you think Achebe suggests through his depiction of the animals and their encounters with the hunter? Write a paragraph explaining your views.​

Answer 1

The representation of animals and their encounter with the hunter is intended to demonstrate the strength of nature and how human beings should respect it.

From the context of this question, we can see that you are referring to "Things Fall Apart." By reading this text, we can see that:

• Achebe aims to expose a narrative that shows the cultural values ​​of the African people.
• These values ​​are related to family, cultural pride, nationalism, and environmentalism.
• Environmentalism is very important in this text and is represented by the myths about animals and their relationship with human beings.
• These myths are intended to show how nature is a force that should be respected and although African societies understand this, the white men who invaded these societies do not understand.
• These myths, in addition to showing the relationship between men and nature, aim to show the spiritual values ​​of African societies, especially the Igbo society.

Thus, we can see that the appearance of animals, taking power, and having encounters with hunters, is a way to show the strength of nature in a more comprehensible and dynamic way.
