Who are the rulers or leaders in things fall apart?

Answer 1

The leaders of the Igbo are men with titles who lead their village to make decisions. There appear to be no official leaders; the villagers listen to those most respected among them.

Judicially, the leaders are the Egwugwu, or ancestral spirits who take temporary residence in great men. Evil Forest is the leader of the Egwugwu.

Answer 2

In "Things Fall Apart" by Chinua Achebe, the main ruler or leader in the village is Okonkwo, a wealthy and powerful warrior known for his accomplishments in battle. Additionally, there is also the village elder, Ezeudu, who holds influence and respect among the community members.

Answer 3

Yes. Elders are generally respected as leaders of the village. A man with titles, such as the title of Ozo, are seen to be better respected leaders who are more likely to be followed.
