Things Fall Apart : Talking Points

In Chapters 12-14 of "Things Fall Apart," we delve into the complex interplay of gender roles and societal expectations in Igbo culture. The juxtaposition of masculine and feminine crimes highlights what constitutes honor or shame within the community. We explore traditional rituals surrounding marriage, funerals, and sacrifices, focusing on Obierika's daughter's marriage ceremony. Additionally, we discuss the themes of punishment and exile, especially Okonkwo's circumstances, reflecting on how work ethic and familial ties shape the fabric of the motherland versus fatherland narrative.
