Explanation: "Things Fall apart" by Chinua Achebe is written as a response to Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness" which is an attempt by the black Africans to reclaim their past as Achebe felt that Conrad being a colonizer could never understand the pain and sufferings they had born, so his version is manipulated. Thus, through this work he is reclaiming their(Africans) history and culture. Ikemefuna was a kind of foster son of Okonkwo and his death interrogates the cultural beliefs and customs of the people of Umuofia. This traumatic scene anticipates the downfall of the tragic hero in the novel and the disintegration of society as their superstitious beliefs like Oracle have led to the death of innocent creatures. This also raises questions about the authenticity of their belief system.
