Since both The Groom (first published by Heinemann in 1958) and Things Fall Apart belong to the category of African literature, the relationship between men whites and blacks in Africa is a theme that the two literary works will have to address. In Things Fall Apart, readers come into contact with the first phase of colonialism in the lower Niger, and in Bridegroom, readers glimpse glimpses of the apartheid period. The writers of The Bridegroom and Things Fall Apart successfully use the description of the relationship to highlight the themes, which are racial segregation in The Bridegroom and social disintegration in Things Fall Apart. The way to achieve this is through the use of narrative point of view, diction, dialogue, and conflict. Both writers use third-person point of view to create a generally realistic atmosphere. The Groom creates everyday scenes while Things Fall Apart tells the story biographically. The narrative point of view in The Bridegroom is limited to one person while in Things Fall Apart, the narrator is omniscient and presents the relationship from multiple points of view. The Groom is told from the point of view of the protagonist, "he" alone, and every bit of information about the relationship comes from his dialogue with the black gang or from the thoughts inside him. This is an effective way of telling the story because the backdrop of the story is apartheid, and it is the forced segregation that means the two races cannot truly know each other on a deeper level. The limited perspective is therefore not only a presentation of the fact but also a reflection on the topic of racial segregation. Compared to this, the point of view of Things Fall Apart sometimes shifts from the Ibo people to the colonizers, present..... .middle sheet...“Now our brothers have won, and our clan can no longer behave as if there was only one. He pulled a knife on the things that held us together and we fell apart.” The cause of this is a different attitude in dealing with the relationship with white men, while the result is that society falls apart, it is another example of how Chinua Achebe uses conflict to present the relationship between whites and blacks, connecting it to the theme of social disintegration. In conclusion, although the two African literary works generally use similar literary devices of narrative point of view, diction, dialogue and conflict to address the theme of the relationship between white and black men. The similarities of the two writers in their descriptions suggest a disturbing effect of racism while the difference presents the effect of time on social reform in different parts of Africa.
