Chinua Achebe chose to write her novels in English to reveal a profound response of her people to colonization and to make that response understood by people around the world. Things Fall Apart was written in English to teach people around the world about the hardships he faced and the people of Nigeria faced growing up. Many authors and critics have written about Achebe's 'Things fall apart' adding their esteemed opinion on what he was trying to say and his decision to write in English. In the following essay I will discuss why Achebe wrote the novel Things Fall apart in English and what messages he was trying to reveal, through the help of critics and secondary sources. Achebe wrote in English to teach the reader the value of Igbo culture. According to Brucker Achebe's education in English and exposure to European societies allowed him to capture not only the African perspective in the novel but also the European perspective on colonial expansion, religion, race, and culture (Brucker 1). Brucker states that Achebe's decision to write Things Fall Apart in English was an important and significant choice (Brucker1). Achebe wanted this novel to respond to earlier colonial accounts of Africa; his choice of language was therefore political (Brucker 3). Many African authors chose to write in native languages ​​as a method of resistance to colonial culture; however Achebe wanted to achieve cultural renewal within and through English (Brucker 3). However, he manages to capture the rhythm of the Igbo language and integrate Igbo vocabulary into the narrative (Brucker 3). Brucker further states that the stereotypes of African culture, particularly the idea that traditional African cultures are authoritarian, amoral, and...dignified." However, Achebe does not idealize the pre-colonial past, as he knows that it cannot survive unchanged in a world modern (reference).Through the opinion of authors and writers through the use of secondary sources, Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart" has many different views and perspectives on why and how it was written Chinua Achebe wrote “Things Fall Apart” in English to inform and teach people around the world about the struggles he faced and the difficulties most Nigerians faced in English Africa from the perspective of Ibo culture. It addresses how individual characters and society as a whole deal with change. Achebe creates a masterpiece that presents the meaning of balance. He says that when this balance is lost, chaos is inevitable and things essentially fall apart.
