Things Fall Apart Contradicts Stereotypes and Stereotyping in Heart of Darkness

In "The image of Africa: Racial discrimination at Conrad's Dark Center", Chinua Avebe criticized the stereotype of racial discrimination against Joseph Conrad's Africa continent and people in Africa. It is impressive. He insisted that Conrad did not describe the continent of Africa in its true form, but advertised "the dominant image of Africa in Western imagination" (1793). Although Africans are depicted as savage by Conrad's novels, there are no words other than snoring, except for the integration into the wicked forest and the plague of Marlow without "other occupations" (1792 - 3)

Heart of Darkness shows that all Africans in Europe have the same concept: savage, primitive and inhumane things. In order to compare this stereotypes, Chinua Cave wrote "collapse" which shows civilized and organized African society. Unfortunately, the hero of the collapse of things is not an accurate representation of civilized Africans. However, because he is an important member of society, not impairing the stereotype, his violent behavior and unwillingness to concede only strengthens the belief of the Europeans against the local people.

Separation of the center of darkness and things shows different ways Africa is presented in literature. In the dark heart, Joseph Conrad showed Africa from the perspective of European colonial people. And they tended to depict all local people as barbarians. In response to the Conrad's African stereotypical description, Cinnave Cave was not a prototype but a member of a rich society, wrote "collapse of things" from the perspective of local people to show Africans. Since he fought for prestige in the community, things left Okonkwo 's life. When a European missionary came to Umm Ophia, a family of Okonkou, Okonkow tried to protect the culture that missionaries would destroy under the name of "civilized" locals. But his strict spirit and violence are contrary to his expectations, with the eyes of European readers continuing the stereotypes of wild Africans.

Being disagreeable is contradictory to many European stereotypes of indigenous culture in Africa. Achebe uses the Ibo vocabulary and the Ibo language rhythm to inject his new language. As a result, readers were impressed with African languages ​​on African languages. The wartime society before the colonial period was far from primitive. Instead, it has developed highly economical agricultural production. Men inherit their farms and wealth from their fathers or build their own wealth through tenant farmers. The main crop is yam, but we also produce coconut yam, beans and cassava. In addition, they produce alcoholic beverages by knocking palm trees, which is a complex process that requires a lot of skill. In addition to agriculture, the people of Ibo are also breeding cows, goats, and poultry. In addition, most villages have markets, and there are a wide range of projects among the villages.
