Achebe seems to do his best to portray both good and evil within both the Igbo civilization and the European colonization. His struggle to maintain his beliefs and integrate them into Western society is shown largely through the second half of the book. For the most part, the two sides are at odds with each other.

From this, the person could infer whether Achebe truly believed in these tropes, or whether he was cleverly deriding them in some other way, perhaps through use of counter-example.
