The Ibo Way Of Life

A native of Africa's Cinnacape Novels is introducing an unusual culture to readers. He shared a strange new way of living that is not a general belief habit. Achebe introduces humans from various perspectives through detailed explanation of Ibo culture such as role, political ideology, unique ceremony etc. Warts culture is a tribe that is completely dominated by men. By becoming a successful warrior and farmer, men gain respect and high titles. Unfortunately, women do not have these opportunities and are considered to be wealth, not human beings.

The polygamy system is Ibo's lifestyle and the first impression of women in this society can focus on this "normal" custom. The polygamy system is absolutely natural for women in the Ibo community, and the inertia of prominent men is deeply rooted in their blood. They have never experienced any different lives and can choose to exercise it with all forms of dominance or power, or decision-making power This is simply ridiculous and boring. Both men and women do not consider polygamy as being wrong and accept it as if there are no other possible lifestyles, customs, or behavior patterns. In all fairness, the Ibo society must have some room for action as it lives in a closed early civilization without encounter, experience, or reference to other parts of the world.

Rural life of warts people are the same as many other villages in Africa, but still unique in warts. Evers live in the village with hundreds of thousands of people of many large families. A very interesting thing about these villages is that rulers and kings can not control the population. This decision was made by including nearly everyone in the village. There are many established institutions such as the Presbyterian Council (age group), chief council, women's association, secret society. Ibos also emphasizes personal behavior and local life

Not everyone in the village is satisfied with the wart's lifestyle. Either a lazy, distorted, or village that is regarded as an attitude of people who simply do not conform to the values ​​of Ibo or abandoned. Achebe uses Okonkwo's son "Nwoye" to prove this. I do not think Okonkwo is the ideal son because Nwoye is not masculine. Okonkwo shows this when Okonkwo says, "I will do my best to make Nwoye a man, but many of his mothers are on him." (P. 58). Unfortunately Nwoye fled with the village to escape the village and returned to the village to open up a new way of life with white settlers and other abandoned people. Achebe began with a wanderer and angered their emotions and began to show the changing tendency of the tribe. These people are the people whose white culture is most easily imposed by locals, as they were abandoned by warts society.
