Things Fall Apart

 Things Fall Apart for what I have read so far is very interesting mainly because of the unique perspective.Historical fiction novels i have read from the past haven't had this perspective of a native African during Imperialism. Okonkwo's characterization throughout the beginning of the book is insecure, cruel, and hot-tempered; furthermore, I'm intrigued to find out how his character changes once colonization comes into the picture.I'm also interested in seeing how his relationship with his wife and children specifically, Ekwefi, Nwoye, and Ezinma throughout the novel.This novel uses Okonkwo's negative demeanor to highlight his insecurities that many men face because of society's perception of what a man should be. his characterization highlights this in a way that isn't overbearing but is noticeable enough to analyze fairly easily.
