Literature that deals with the people who lived once under colonialism, is called postcolonial literature. Countries of almost every continent went through colonialism. Africa was the most affected continent as colonialism and imperialism caused major changes in the lives of Africans. Things Fall Apart is a novel that deals with postcolonial literature, in which Chinua Achebe portrays the theme of colonialism and its demerits. He proved that colonialism either sieged the cultural development of Igbo society or entirely replaced it with a new culture. He was not the only one who managed to write novels on colonialism. Heart of Darkness is also an example in which the writer describes the miserable condition of Africans when they suffered under British rule.
History is not enough to believe and categorize Things Fall Apart as a postcolonial novel and to understand the theme of colonialism in it. Being students of literature, we must gather some evidence from the book to prove that it is about the people of that continent, which was colonized the most. In order to do this, we have to divide the novel into three parts. In fact, Chinua Achebe already completed this task for us. Hence, he divided the novel into three parts; in the first part, he portrays the life of Nigerians before colonialism; in the second part, he depicts the disturbed life of people when whites entered their society; and third, at the end, he elucidates the miserable condition of the people along with protagonist of the play after colonialism.
