The Effects of Colonialism in Things Fall Apart

The influence of colonialism on things is clearly manifested in the novel "collapse of things". The influence of colonialism is very obvious in warts society. As Caucasian English emigrated to this country, their cultural values ​​changed. Examples of these changes are evident in all aspects of Ibo's life, religion, family life, children, and the dead. Many Ibos are concerned about their society's colonialism, but eventually they are completely impossible to make any changes that have changed in their society.

Another influence of colonialism in "material falls" is the loss of power. Missionaries and municipalities provide power to the Ibo family. Although they do not want to change like Okonkou, most indigenous people convert to Christianity, allowing churches, missionaries and local officials to control and manipulate the minds of local people. Tribal members' performance is amazing as they have a lot of influence on many decisions made by locals at the beginning of the novel. But the cause of the repetition of the destruction of the powerful Mesh tribe is the technological progress that Europeans possess, colonists have more powerful firearms and planted fears like "surround them in the market" . Everyone you know participated and they took out their weapons and shot a lot ... "(Achebe, p. 56)

The two novels focus on the influence of colonialism, but the focus of Dark Heart is in the trading post, not a permanent colony. Separate things focus on their efforts to transform established missionaries and local people into Christianity. Religion does not exist in the center of darkness. Let's look at some similarities. Both were concentrated in Africa's early 20th century European colonialism and showed some of the colonial influence to local people. In addition, everyone is expressing a negative expression of a white man. In "Collapse of things", this was accomplished by a regional commissioner in Okonkwo village who believed locals were "original" people needing "soothing". We saw this in the darkness, especially through the Kurtz, where local people wrote "barbarians" are "being destroyed".

One of the similarities is that both studies focused on colonialism in the early 20th century when many countries in Europe established colonies in Africa. To make things fall apart, this is the main focus of the novel, which also has a standing position in the dark. Both show the influence of white settlers on the area and the influence on local residents. For example, in the dark, we saw the influence of Kurtz on local residents of the station. Even at other stations, we saw local people being influenced by white settlers, changing their lifestyle around the station, and in most cases pursuing the content of white orders.
