        <description><![CDATA[During this chapter, and Kumalo's "retreat" to Ezenzeleni with Msimangu, we see Kumalo's response to the great grief that he feels on his discovery of his son and what has happened to his family, and how the tribe has been destroyed. Yet, at the same time, we also see Kumalo's great resilience and re-invigoration to go back and face the situation that he is planted in.
At the beginning of the chapter, Kumalo is literally deadened with grief...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Father Vincent gives the gifts of friendship, consolation, and hope to Kumalo.  He also secures a good lawyer who will defend Kumalo's son Absalom without pay.
Father Vincent is an English priest at the Mission House in Sophiatown.  He befriends Kumalo, sharing with him details about his own country, with its "hedges and...fields...and the great cathedrals up and down the land" (Chapter 11).  Father Vincent is sympathetic to Kumalo's...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Msimangu believes that the only hope for South Africa lies in the power of love.  He says,

"...there is only one thing that has power completely, and that is love.  Because when a man loves, he seeks no power, and therefore he has power.  I see only one hope for our country, and that is when white men and black men, desiring neither power nor money, but desiring only the good of their country, come together to work for it".

        <description><![CDATA[From his journey to Johannesburg, Stephen Kumalo learns that there are great changes taking place in South Africa, and that they are represented, for better or for worse, in the city of Johannesburg.  The author says about Stephen,

"The great city had opened his eyes to something that had begun and must now be continued.  For there in Johannesburg things were happening that had nothing to do with any chief".

Stephen sees the corruption and...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is the Judge's job to uphold the law, and when he does, justice has been served.  It is not up to him to determine whether the law itself is just or fair; the law is made by the society, and if some feel it is unjust, then the law and society must be changed, but it is not up to the Judge to do it.  As the administrator of justice, the Judge

"...cannot, must not, dare not allow the existing defects of society to influence him to do...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The one undisputed fact during the trial is that Absalom killed Arthur Jarvis.
Absalom never denies that he killed Arthur Jarvis, but his defense is that he did not mean to kill him.  He maintains to the very end,

"I killed this man, but I did not mean to kill him, only I was afraid".

Absalom had gone with his cousin and another man to the Jarvis home with the intention of stealing.  They had not expected Jarvis to be home, but when the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It is clear that Kumalo relishes the opportunities he has to play with his nephew and to tell him stories of his homeland. It is important perhaps for Kumalo, whilst he is going through so much that is new and having to learn about the realities of city life that he is able to remember his valley and home and traditions:

Or he would tell him of the great valley where he was born, and the names of hills and rivers, and the school that he would...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In Chapter 7, Stephen Kumalo meets with his brother John, who has established himself as an important man in the city of Johannesburg.  The important part of this Chapter is what John tells Stephen about life in Johannesburg, and Msimangu's interpretation of what he says.  John Kumalo tells Stephen that the tribal society is "breaking apart", and that a new society is being built in Johannesburg, based on gold, which is being mined with the...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Above all else, Cry the Beloved Country is a book about the hope that is found in reconciliation. Reconciliation begins between men and then extends to reconciling with the land so that all people are well nourished. Without reconciliation, the land will die and the people will vanish.
There are a number of quotes that support that idea, but perhaps the most effective is the salutation and valediction that courses througout the novel: Go well,...]]></description>
