Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe

One of the major themes in Things Fall Apart is the notion of change and progress. In what ways does the idea of progress shape the novel? If Unoka, Okonkwo, and Nwoye are symbolic of three successive generations, how does society in Umuofia change over the course of their lifetimes? How does the title of the piece come into play? Do things fall apart in this story, is there hope at the end?
