Analyzation of a quote from Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe Essay
In Things Fall Apart, Achebe focuses on differences in culture and society. In the quote, The world has no end, and what is good among maven people is an abomination with others. Uchendu is discussing with Okonkwo and Obierka the massacre in Abame. I agree with the quotation. Many people have their own ways of doing things and then their actions are criticized by others. A prime example of this is religious groups in the world and all are criticized by one another at some point. A good example of that fueding is the on-going upbraidings between Protestants and Catholics. Being Catholic myself, I can relate to this first-hand. Our beliefs to other religious groups are wrong, an abomination of what is supposed to be done. We also sometimes criticize our brethren in other faiths.The world is always in a constant fight. There is a deeper meaning in this quote and that meaning is that internally, the world will never end its constant criticism and bludgeoning of itself. It keeps going a round in circles, and until one group decides to understand the other, the round of golf will continue. Basically, the beliefs misunderstood by stubborn people who do not want to understand are picked on. The people whose beliefs are in question get angry and these differences are set in motion. And truly, until we all understand each other, universally, this cycle of craziness will certainly never end, making Uchendus statement correct.
