My Problem & Achebe's Monster

1 - I am the only character in my problem. My personal pursuit of happiness has created this issue that I hope one day to solve. Whether this is possible I do not know however the outcome shall be down entirely to me.

2 - I see the monster in Achebe as change. The inhabitants of this native African village have lived for thousands of years in a barley-changing continuum. They enjoy their life despite its various pitfalls and are content with who they have become. The first monstrous change is experienced when Okonkwo and is family are forced into exile. This ruins their prosperous life and forces Okonkwo into a depressed state of mind. The next major blow comes with the introduction if white men and their foreign religion. You could see the religion as the monster however I think you need to look at the bigger picture. The religion itself isn't bad because it is much loved in the land of its origin. It is the change from one set of beliefs to another that causes trauma.
