TINGS FELL APART

  1. Okonkwo get exiled  (social context)
  2. Missionaries arrive, take over Abame (historical context)
  3. Okonkwo hangs himself (cultural, Social context)
  4. Nwoye joins the church (cultural, social, historical context)
  5. Ikemefuna gets killed by Okonkwo (cultural context)
  6. Mr.Brown and Akunna talk (social, cultural context)
  7. Enoch kills an egwugwu (cultural context)



  1. Enoch by killing an egwugwu which is an ancient spirit that the Ibo believed in started a chain of event that enhanced the conflict between the Ibo and the missionaries. This happened after the death of the egwugwu when the ancient spirit decided to destroy the church and lay it in its foundation.
  2. Okonkwo hanging himself was probably the most important moment in the book, because it showed the end of our tragic hero as well as the end of any of the conflicts he had started due to his violent and angry character.
  3. Nwoye by joining the church enraged his father, Okonkwo even more, because although Okonkwo thought that Nwoye was lazy he would never betray his father and lose the claim to his family. Also this portrays Okonkwo as a weak and terrible father.
