영문 초록

Examining the internal problems that cause chaos in Nigeria, this paper tries to look into Chinua Achebe’s suggestions for overcoming it in his novels, Arrow of God and Anthills of the Savannah. Especially, the paper makes a close study of the failure of leadership to which Achebe pays attention as the core of the internal problems. The failure of leadership that can be stated first is resulted from the leaders’ limitations and attributes in both novels. Those are their incompetency, irresponsibility, and lust for power and interests. Emphasizing that the failure of leadership is due not only to the leader but also to the people, the paper also claims that the situation in which a real leader cannot appear is because the people conform to the system and lose their sense of resistance. Finally, this paper confirms that Achebe does not stop at analyzing and criticizing the failure of leadership, but instead proposes the community where leaders and the people support and cooperate with each other to overcome chaos and create a new Nigeria.
