Marginality in Things Fall Apart.

- Abstract
This paper is an attempt to explore the elements of marginality in the characters and culture of Igbo people in Things Fall Apart. The novel tells us about the rise and tragic fall of Okonkwo (protagonist). Through this novel Achebe tries to show the breaking up of the Igbo society by the emergence of the colonizers. Things Fall Apart can be considered as the lament of the Igbo people for their culture and traditions. After the emergence of the colonizers in the colonized countries, they tried to push the culture and traditions of the natives to the margin by their religion, culture, language and technology.
