VOICE AND PARADIGM SHIFT IN THINGS FALL APART

Change is unavoidable in the world, whether it is scientific or sociocultural in nature. Chinua Achebe, in his
work Things Fall Apart, is one of the famous writers who has studied voice and paradigm change in the
socio-cultural sphere. The emphasis is on critical analysis and how Chinua Achebe examined topics of cultural
identity, conflict, and the voice of African indigenous peoples throughout the colonial period. It examines
the African-Igbo culture, including its customs, rituals, local oral culture, and colonisation process, and the
novel depicts the confusion and contradictory circumstances generated by the entrance of Europeans, who
brought with them a new religion, a new way of life, and new ways of thinking.
