Blog Post #24: Thesis Statement and Outline


Thesis Statement: In Achebe's novel " Things Fall Apart", an understanding of gender roles allows a comprehension of the Igbo culture which defines how Okonkwo's character identifies and differs with his customs, exaggerating the symbolism of his tragic hero archetype and death.

Topic Sentence #1: Sub-plots and side characters within the novel provide the readers with other perspective which create a further understanding of gender roles of the Igbo culture, unlike Okonkwo ideologies..

Topic Sentence #2: This understanding formed identifies how Okonkwo's hamartia created by the ideals of the culture prevents him from embodying certain aspects like duality of their customs.

Topic Sentence #3: The internal conflict Okonkwo has concerning his cultures deals exaggerates the symbolism of his death, the death of a product of the Igbo people.
