The library is situated in the most annoyingly noisy business quarter, under the overhanging smoke, in the nearest reach of the engine bells of the lakeside. One can hardly spend an hour in it if he be not a Chicagoan who was born without taste of the fresh air and blue sky. The heavy, oppressive, ill-smelling air of Chicago almost kills me sometimes. What a foolishness and absurdity of the city administrators to build the office of learning in such place of restaurants and barber shops!
Look at that edifice of the city library! Look at that white marble! That's great, admirable; that means tremendous power of money. But what a vulgarity, stupid taste, outward display, what an entire lacking of fine sentiment and artistic love! Ah, those decorations with gold and green on the marble stone spoil the beauty! What a shame! That is exactly Chicagoesque. O Chicago, you have fine taste, haven't you?”

A sparkling mystery, a shape,
Something perfect,
Comes like the stir of the day:
One whose breath is an odour,
Whose eyes show the road to stars,
The breeze in his face,
The glory of Heaven on his back.
He steps like a vision hung in air,
Diffusing the passion of Eternity;
His abode is the sunlight of morn,
The music of eve his speech:
In his sight,
One shall turn from the dust of the grave,
And move upward to the woodland.”

The tone of Things Fall Apart is generally objective, meaning that the narrator presents a clear and straightforward account of events. Achebe provides no evidence that the reader should distrust the narrator, whose only embellishments tend to be explanatory, commenting on certain cultural practices that may be foreign to non-Igbo readers. The apparent reliability of the narrator plays a significant role in the novel. The tone allows Achebe to present a view of a dynamic and complex cultural world that fully supports the social, religious, and political life of its inhabitants. This representation works against Euro-American conceptions of African cultures as socially backward, superstitious, and politically disorganized. On the other hand, the novel’s objective tone amplifies the tragedy of the ending, when the British District Officer reduces the entire story into a single paragraph in a book meant to glorify the British Empire. Readers understand that, despite its pretense to historical accuracy, The Pacification of the Primitive Tribes of the Lower Niger actually erases Igbo history, just as British colonialism threatens to erase the Igbo cultural world the novel presents.

The objective tone of Things Fall Apart also invites readers to make their own judgments about the characters and their actions. Achebe portrays characters and events with complexity and objectivity, enabling readers to judge for themselves whether Okonkwo is wrong to pursue status so single-mindedly, or whether Nwoye is right to follow his heart into the arms of Christian fellowship. Achebe also empowers non-Igbo readers to make informed judgments across cultural and historical divides. Although the world of Things Fall Apart is foreign to most readers, Achebe embeds enough context in the novel for us to understand how and when characters follow, go against, or exceed Igbo cultural norms. In the end, the objective yet nuanced tone of the novel allows readers to see that things fall apart not solely because of British colonial infiltration, but also because of internal divisions among the Igbo.
