Abstract
Things Fall Apart is the first work of Chinua Achebe’s. This paper aims to make an incisive analysis of the tragedy of its main character of Okonkwo, who is not only skilled at winning battles, but also extremely loyal to the tribe. It points out that the direct causes of the tragedy are the influences of his father, his character flaws, and family and tribal environment and that the indirect causes of the tragedy are the cultural conflict between African culture and Western colonial culture, the internal factors of the clan and the weaknesses of the Igbo society.
Key Words: Things Fall Apart; the causes of the tragedy; Okonkwo
