Abstract:
Contemporary African literature is distinguished by its handling of many crucial issues, such as identity, the relationship of the ego to the colonial Western other, racial discrimination, and else. Since the beginning of the fifties, some African novelists replaced feasting with old values with indulging into expressing the African contemporary situation, in an endeavor to reveal the beauty of the African novel and its different realms, through an analytical literary reading for one of its famous models. In light of the many trends of literary criticism of novel styles, and what it bears from different visions that is subjected to non-final critical judgments, we have the right to put forward other classifications that we consider to be more credible, which I proposed as a representation of the “argumentative structure method”, for its application in the analysis of the African novel (Things Fall Apart) of Chinua Achebe (November 16, 1930-March 21, 2013 AD), through a number of introductory themes, namely: the position of the African novel in Arab and world literature, novelistic narrative methods and trends of analysis, and the definition of argumentative, then applying the reflection of argumentation on the construction of the novel (Things fall apart), and a conclusion includes the results of the analysis of the novel.
