Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe is not a book that particularly interest me or is a book that I would usually enjoy. Honestly it kinda was a little boring to me at first, but after a few chapters it got pretty cool. Learning all about the Igbo culture and society. However, I am not to fond of the main character Okonkwo. He is not able to control his anger or actions. He seems to be too agressive towards his family. He beats one wife and shoots at another. He even kills his adopted son Ikemefuna, who he adores just because he doesn't want to show he's weak. He wishes his daughter was a boy and that his son wasn't more toward the feminist side. Even though all his actions may be from fear of becoming like his dad. It is still no excuse of the type of man he is. That just has me thinking about how messed up society was back then and how it is still like that sometimes today. Also just how their society was back then. I know for sure that I would not have wanted to be living in that type of environment.
