What does a toad does not run in the daytime for nothing have to do with Things Fall Apart?

Answer 1

The quote was found in the book Things Fall Apart.

Answer 2

This proverb highlights the importance of understanding cultural beliefs and customs to avoid misunderstandings or misjudgments. In "Things Fall Apart," the clash of cultures between the Igbo people and colonial forces demonstrates how misinterpretations can lead to conflict and the erosion of traditional ways of life. Just as the toad's behavior is misunderstood by those unfamiliar with its habits, the Igbo culture is often misinterpreted and devalued by the colonizers.
