A famous philosopher named Aristotle once said: "He who is unable to live in a society, or who has no need because he is self-sufficient, it must be a beast or a god” (Moncur). From the first humans, people have tried to live and grow where others are. This organization of people living together as a community is called society provides protection, continuity, security and identity. Without a society to be a part of, man is nothing. Therefore, if a man comes into conflict with his society, he must accept these differences or be destroyed novel Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, when the main character, Okonkwo, clashes with the beliefs of his society The conflict that exists between Okonkwo and his society is what ultimately leads to his downfall. Very soon, Okonkwo is not agrees with many of the most important values ​​of its culture. These are held sacred in his clan and were practiced generations before him. The clan practices these values ​​because they are tributes to the gods and goddesses. They are practiced as signs of respect towards these deities so as not to anger them. Achebe emphasizes the importance of being respectful, “a man who respects the great paves the way for his own greatness” (Achebe 19). If a man shows respect, the clan will praise him for it and he too will become great one day. One of these values ​​is Peace Week. Peace Week falls during the carefree season between harvesting and planting sweet potatoes. During this week, each member of the clan is obliged to remain peaceful among themselves. No one can argue with each other, and husbands cannot beat their wives or children. If the peace is broken during this sacred week, the culprit will face severe punishment. They are considered an abomination to the earth goddess and cannot escape her wrath. Another unique value emerges when an important clan member is murdered by a member of a neighboring clan. To atone for this crime, the killer's family must sacrifice their son, Ikemefuna, to Okonkwo's clan. The boy is taken away from his family and sent to live with Okonkwo in his village. There he lives in Okonkwo's compound for many years and becomes part of the family.
