| Abstract: | This abstract examines the concept of appropriation in Chinua Achebe's seminal novel, "Things Fall Apart," exploring how the author strategically employs the literary device to convey a complex narrative about the impact of colonialism on Igbo society in Nigeria. Achebe's appropriation manifests in various forms, including linguistic choices, narrative structure, character development, and the representation of cultural traditions. The author skillfully appropriates the English language, inherited from colonial powers, to craft a narrative that challenges Western-centric perspectives on African cultures. Achebe also appropriates and reinterprets colonial narratives, providing a counter-narrative that subverts stereotypes and underscores the agency and sophistication of pre-colonial African societies. |
