Things Fall Apart Uncivilized Analysis

Improved Essays
A civilized society is a society that does not have social order by the government or a social structure. The Igbo society is uncivilized because there is not a positive government and okonkwo beats on his wives and that Umuofia believes there is evil around.

The Igbo society is uncivilized because the “government” does not give people a decision. In the novel “Things Fall Apart” it says “ Okonkwo had committed the female , because it had been inadvertent . He could return to the clan after seven years.” ( Achebe , 1959 , page 124)
This relates to my thesis statement because okonkwo didn’t have a choice to stay in his village they kicked him out. Another reason to this uncivilized village is because okonkwo is beating on his wife.

Igbo village is uncivilized due to okonkwo actions as in physically beating his wives and mentally making them and his children afraid of him and do everything he says. In the novel “ Things Fall Apart” in chapter five it says “ Without further argument okonkwo gave her a sound beating and left her and her only daughter weeping. ( Achebe , 1959, page 38) Women in the village don’t really do anything when okonkwo beats on them they are very much afraid of him and it is very much uncivilized because others see it and they do nothing at all.

( Achebe, 1959, page 62) This evidence proves a opposing point of seeing that members of the village don’t like to be apart of evil and they try to stay

    During his exile Okonkwo is listless, almost paralyzed by his inability to do any work beyond providing for his family. Achebe implies that once Okonkwo is away from his fatherland, his character is effaced, almost obliterated. He can no longer act as a man among men. Instead, he is limited to reaction, especially rage, as he hears stories about the coming of the white men. He calls other men fools for not fighting back, for not retaliating against the Europeans, but his ravings are mostly impotent, unheard cries of frustration that Ibo men are no longer men but women, "clucking like old hens" (153).…

Among the Umuofia clan “a man was judged according to his worth and not according to the worth of his father” (Achebe 8).…
