The majesty of Achebe existed in the vivid description of place and people, how he was able to show the inner conflict that took place inside the major characters in their pursuit of mere existence within a declining culture in the face of a tyrannical white one. The conflict has two aspects; an internal, which can be, traced within the same culture among its members and sometimes inside a specific character, on the other hand an external conflict that took place between two cultures, the African and the British one. The pursuit of mere existence is the dominant theme within this novel. All search for their existence whether on individual level or cultural level.
