In "Things Fall Apart," the church symbolizes the colonial influence and the clash between traditional Igbo culture and Western values. It represents both hope and destruction; for some characters, it offers salvation and a sense of community, while for others, it signifies the erosion of their cultural identity and societal structure. The church's presence highlights the tensions of cultural assimilation and resistance, illustrating the broader themes of change and conflict in the novel.
