It is clear that in Chinua Achebe’s book Things Fall Apart that many of the actions of the characters are vastly different from what we would expect people to act like today. A prime example of how people in this book act differently than we would expect people to act today is Okonkwo. He displays different characteristics than a person who follows the belief of cosmopolitanism. Okonkwo is not open to others ideas and decides to act out in violence instead of handling disagreements with discussion multiple times in the book Things Fall Apart.
Okonkwo lives in the tribe of Umuofia and is very well respected. He is self made and a very hard worker. Okonkwo dreads the idea that one day he may end up being just like his father. This being said
