Analysis of the First Three Paragraphs of Things Fall Apart.
The First three paragraphs of Things Falling Apart, is mainly a mere character description of our protagonist of Things Fall Apart. Even though this analysis of the hero is not very good in telling how important Okonkwo is, it however, tells us the strength and importance of such a man in the Igbo tribe. .
By describing him immediately in the first sentence of the book, Achebe signifies how well known and important a man like Okonkwo is, "well known through out the nine villages and beyond". This popularity is mainly due to a great wrestling match, Okonkwo challenged at the age of eighteen. He brought honour to his village by beating Amalinze the Cat in a wrestling contest. Until his match with Okonkwo, the Cat had been undefeated for seven years. The atmosphere before the match also shows the tension in the crowd, as both wrestlers are excellent crafts man in wrestling. The atmosphere also implies of Okonkwos" greatness in the art of wrestling. Focusing on The Cat, Amalinze is personified as being a cat; hence his back never touches the ground when he falls. Thus, in making The Cat fall, Achebe points out that Okonkwo, "slippery as a fish in the water" is physically powerful. I believe, when Achebe abruptly puts an end to the second paragraph, where "Okonkwo threw The Cat" it reflects how Okonkwo abruptly puts an end to everything immediately, almost suddenly. Achebe may be reflecting that Okonkwo's ways of finishing everything out of the blue reflects his anger or strictness Okonkwo has. .
Okonkwo is a wealthy and respected warrior of the Umuofia clan. The wealthy side of Okonkwo can be seen by the number of wives and children he has from the quote: "when he slept his wives and children could hear him breathe". In the Umuofia clan, if a man had several wives and children he was regarded as being wealthy as he was able to afford for all of them.
