In Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, when and how is the white man introduced? Tracing the chronology of the Igbo people's responses to the...

In Things Fall Apart, the white man
comes in without restraint. The white man brings a new religion, but he does not have
any consideration for the tribe's religious beliefs. The white man insists that the
tribal men change to a new way of thinking. Ther is no regard for the customs and
beliefs that are different than the white man's.


The white
man comes across as disrepectful. The white man clearly feels superior and abuses the
tribal men who do not succumb to the white man's
beliefs.


Who would want a religion that allows the white
man to kill and throw in prison anyone who rejects his way of teaching? What kind of God
would tolerate and justify such violence? What happened to God is love? Where is God in
all the violence?
