The opening epigraph by Yeats, "Things fall apart; the center cannot hold," sets the tone for the novel by foreshadowing the theme of decay and disintegration. It suggests that there is a fundamental instability in the world of the novel and that the characters' attempts to maintain order and control may ultimately be futile. This quote also alludes to the breakdown of traditional customs and beliefs that will be central to the story.
