Question

In what is the epigraph of the poem about about okonkwo specifically? In about 150 words, tell how the first four lines of “ the second coming “ describe his journey in the novel

Answer 1

The epigraph to Things Fall Apart is taken from Yeats' poem, "The Second Coming."

The first four lines to this poem are an accurate description of what happens to Okonkwo. At the beginning of the novel, life for Okonkwo is passing normally as it had for years. Over the course of the novel, however, things begin to fall apart. In short, "the center cannot hold."

Due in part to his own actions (and his overwhelming desire to be the opposite of his father) Okonkwo goes from being a respected member of Umuofia to being an exile. After the missionaries arrive, things fall apart for Okonkwo even further. Ultimately, Okonkwo falls from grace and takes his own life.

The epigraph to the novel perfectly summarizes the path of Okonkwo in the novel. He goes from being wealthy and respected to someone whose actions make him an outcast and contribute to his death.Explanation:
