Achebe's novel 'Things Fall Apart' tends to depict the difference between the Pre-colonial Africa from that depicted by Europeans. Europeans in their texts depicted Africans as someone who are brute and barbarians and who needed to be taught and enlightened by Europeans.

Explanation:

'Things Fall Apart' is an initial novel of late Chinua Achebe, published in 1958.

The novel portrayed the difference between Africa depicted by Europeans after colonization and Africa before European colonization. In their texts and novels, Europeans depicted Africans as barbarian who needed to be taught and educated by Europeans.

Whereas, Achebe's novel 'Things Fall Apart' depicts the Africa through Igbo society. He picturizes both the negative and positive picture of it. Through the means of his novel, he wanted to inform his readers about the rich culture and values of pre-colonized Africa, which was blurred in European novels.
