Answer: Reading the epigraph, we come to understand that Yeats is referring to an image of disaster and to a society that is losing control. In Things Fall Apart, the community faces some changes that affect the lives of certain main characters and leads to a very severe disaster. Epigraphs serve to give readers some idea of the themes and subjects that will appear later in your work, while also establishing the context for your story
