A Tale of Two Cities and Things Fall Apart are both novels of social protest. Both novels are focused largely on class struggle. The broad theme of class struggle is important, but it is also important to note how Madame and Monsieur Defarge react to the unjust monarchy in revolutionary France compared with Okonkwo’s reactions to the class struggles in the Ibo tribe. This comparison is important because these characters’ actions set the tone of the respective novels. Class struggle motivates Okonkwo’s aspirations and the Defarge’s retaliations. The privileges that come with being a higher classed member of society roused Okonkwo to strive for higher social standing. These same privileges inflamed Madame Defarge to plot the downfall of the wealthy. Class struggle was the cause for Okonkwo’s inner turmoil as well
