Although Okonkwo is a talented farmer, has a growing family, and is known widely as a fearless warrior he is so greatly distressed by the change that it ultimately causes him to end his life. He can not stand that the white men have brought their own religion taking some of his brothers and most definitely hates that they brought their own judicial system to judge the people of the native land. Things Fall Apart compares to most historical fiction works because the author uses interesting characters and stories to convey a message to the readers. The story can relate to the colonists treatment of Native Americans during the exploration of the American continent and manifest destiny. The colonists believed that it was their land to take and the native people should be judged by the American laws. It is also the same with the treatment of Native Californian people when the missions were built and the Indians were expected to change their lifestyle and religious beliefs. Even though the story is presented slowly I found the presentation of the Umuofian culture interesting and I am more likely now to further read stories by this
