        <description><![CDATA[One of the primary themes represented in the play is the power of tradition.  Anowa flaunts the traditions of her people.  She does not marry immediately after reaching puberty as is expected, and when she finally does marry, she does not follow the cultural expectations that a woman does not work outside the home.  Although her actions are the result of Anowa remaining true to her own beliefs, they have dire consequences within the context...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[i guess they are called like that because they are gossiping all the time,and in my opinion, salt refers to the old man because he tells the sour truth and pepper represents the gossip of the old woman.                                                                        their role in the play is to give us information about the historical events as we can see in the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Lessons will depend on subjective view.Moreover the play was written against the backdrop of the dilemma tale in which there is no specific moral resolution, rather the audience is left to draw its own conclusion.Having this in mind will make us see how Ama juxtaposed ideas in the three generations represented:Old man &amp; woman,Badua &amp; Osam,and Kofi and Anowa.Each xter represents different ideologies.For example, The concept of the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Before marriage is attempted in the traditional african society,the parents investigate the family background of their prospective son or daughter- in- law for traces of any anomalies like mental illness, quarellsomeness,impotency, barreness,etc. In Kofi's case the trait is indolence as it is implied in Badua's remark &quot;...should i be the one whose daughter wud want to marry this fool...This- i-am...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[there is an african saying that what an elder see sitting, a child cannot evn when he climbs the tallest tree. Badua fails with Anowa in many decisions she makes concerning her daughter's life. However, her motherly instincts kick in as she recognizes the good for nothingness in Kofi Ako. at the end of the play, she is proved right.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One of the lessons deals with the power of traditions and customs and what happens when a person tries to change those customs and traditions. Anowa refuses to take on her traditional role as a woman in her society. As a result, she committs suicide as well as her husband, Kofi Ako. Anowa remained true to what she believed, but in the process of following her own beliefs, she hurt others.Pride is another lesson because pride is Anowa's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The chair is the favorite spot of the twins' master, who keeps
them as slaves.&nbsp; They fan the chair to keep it cool, even in
his absence.&nbsp; The action represents just how ridiculously
oppressiono of slavery, and the thwarting of a person's own lives
and dreams in favor of the lives and dreams of
someoneelse.&nbsp;
Here is a passage from the&nbsp;novel that illustrates the
argument:
(…) Hmm… woe the childless woman, they warn. Let...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Badua insists that Kofi Ako is good-for-nothing and insults his family. I think part of her anger is directed toward Anowa because she refused to marry when she was supposed to and she turned down the marriage proposals of the other young men who asked her.]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[When Anowa marries Kofi Ako, she helps him start a skin-trading business. She does a lot of work in the business. Traditionally, women weren't supposed to work outside the home in Ghana, but Anowa pays no attention to the tradition. Her husband, Kofi Ako, wants a more traditional wife, so he suggests they buy slaves for their business. Anowa is appalled at the thought of owning another person, even though the slave trade was common in Africa....]]></description>
