The men of Abame, being foretold that white men would bring doom to their village, foolishly killed a white man and his horse, tying the horse to a tree.
In response, three white men and a very large numbers of other men surrounded the market, then opened fire. Everybody at the market place was killed except the old and the sick who were at home and a handful of men and women whose chi were wide awake and brought to the market.
Abame was said to be foolish in two ways:
The massacre of Abame in "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe was based on a tragic misunderstanding between the villagers of Abame and the white man, who they mistakenly believed was an evil spirit. The massacre was a result of cultural clashes and miscommunication between the indigenous people and the colonizers.
Depending on the ceremony.
The massacre of Abame was not based off any one event, but many events where indigenous tribes fought against European colonists and were massacred as a result. This need not hold true only to Africa, as it was reflective of many American (North and South) encounters between natives and Europeans.
The majority of Things Fall Apart takes place in Umuofia, though some parts take place in other villages. The majority of part 2 takes place in Mbanta.
No, "Things Fall Apart" is a work of fiction. It is a novel written by Chinua Achebe and is not based on real events or people.
No one really fulfills a peasant - lord like role in Things Fall Apart. However, most of the characters are farmers in an agriculturally based society.
Massacre at Virginia Tech is a great documentary on it, and Beautiful Boy is directed by a man who had relatives in the virginia tech shooting. It's not ABOUT the shooting, but based on it.
In the second chapter of "Things Fall Apart," people fear the Oracle of the Hills and Caves, who is consulted to determine the cause of an oracle's prophecy. This oracle is seen as possessing supernatural powers and is feared by the people of the village for its ability to predict the future.
Those figures change, based upon the writer's resources: See website: My Lai Massacre.
