Comparing An Enemy Of The People And Things Fall Apart

Improved Essays
When I look at examples from the two stories, An Enemy of the People by Henrik Ibsen and Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, I see that both main characters are rather naive in their initial understanding of the battles they were about to fight, and they both underestimated their enemies. Dr.Stockmann and Okonkwo, are both men of strong believes in their causes. However, they are unlike each other in the way that each ends the narrative. While Dr.Stockmann understands that there is dignity in standing up for one’s beliefs, even if he stands alone, Okonkwo hangs himself because his beliefs are no longer honored among his people. He feels he has no choice but to kill himself.
As we might have seen few similarities between Okonkwo and Dr.Stockmann,

    The Sniper and Cranes have differences that give two opposite ideas of the story. The main focus of The Sniper targets the civil war and the repercussions that follow it, whereas Cranes focuses on the loyalty one has to family and friends. The Sniper expresses the toll the war has taken on the soldier and how it affects him by giving detail about the feelings and thoughts he has about the war. The author wants the reader to know that the sniper is dedicated to his duty and does not think twice about the decisions he has to make. In Cranes, the opposite occurs; Songsam goes out of his duty and gives Tokchae the chance to escape instead of taking him to be killed, as he volunteered to do in the first place.…

    The backbone of any piece of writing is the type of literary conflict that revolves within it. To truly understand the inner workings of any piece, one must be familiar with the four main types of conflict: Man vs. Man, Man vs. Nature, Man vs. Society, and Man vs. Self. Many literary works include more than one of these forms of conflict, including Chinua Achebe’s Things Fall Apart. However, it can be said that Man vs. Man is the most prevalent of these forms within this work. The Man vs. Man conflict form in Things Fall Apart covers the relationship between the main character, Okonkwo, and his first son, Nwoye.…

    In literature, authors usually depict flat characters by using indirect or direct characterizations and don’t give them conflict. Rather depict the characters as uncomplex or simply uninteresting. However, flat characters can often be glimpsed over, but serves as a “magic casement” which reveals their true purpose in the main conflict of the story. These magic casements are revealed, specifically in Chinua Achebe’s contemporary novel, Things Fall Apart, follows the story of a headstrong clan leader, Okonkwo, and his difficult journey to find prominence after a group of Christian missionaries attempts to destroy his culture.

    Protagonist of Things Fall Apart, Okonkwo witnesses the white men bring changes to his clan and attempt to colonize them for conquest. Described as “a man of action”, Okonkwo seemingly falls short of his reputation when he commits suicide at the end of the novel (10). Commonly viewed as succumbing to a hereditary disposition of femininity and weakness, this death is thought of as a failure on Okonkwo’s behalf, as something within the clan which fell apart like the title and epigraph suggests. However, Okonkwo’s death is moreover a heroic ending for a man of honor and strength if one focuses on the further consequences. Willing to stand up for his beliefs and prevent unnecessary conflict, Okonkwo kills himself in a final attempt to correct the…
