MALUGUS DECEITFUL AND CORRUPTION :
Throughout the play, The Blood of a Stranger,
deceit permeates every aspects of the
characters’ lives especially the antagonist such
as Whitehead, Maligu, Parker and Soko.
Maligu’s deception is made known from his
plans to make fortune from the white man’s
visit, at the expense of the people of
Mandoland. This is evident in his conversation
with Soko, from whom he canvasses support for
his mischief. To the morally dangling priest, he
says: “Do you want to die a poor man?”
Similarly, Soko deceives the entire village
regarding the coming of the white man when he
lies that the oracle has indeed prophesied the
event and that a virgin girl be sacrificed. In
addition, the white man, Whitehead, and his
assistant, Parker, connive to rob the village of
her naturally endowed diamond while fooling
the king and the palace chiefs that his mission
is to empower the villagers through tobacco
farming. With this, Charley seems to portray the
deceptive and amoral means, which the White
colonialists used in raping their colonies, African
countries, of their God-given natural resources.

8)Lena Younger, a.k.a. Mama, totally rocks our
world. She’s a down-to-earth, hard-working
black woman who doesn’t suffer fools. Mama
has dedicated her life to her children and
struggles to instill her values in them – with
mixed results. One of Lena’s most poignant
moments might be when she admits to Ruth
that sometimes her children frighten her. This is
one of those sad and beautiful moments that
make her character seem truly human.
Throughout the play, Lena struggles to con

Dinner tonight comes with gun wounds. Our
desert tongues lick the vegetable blood—the
pepper strong enough to push scorpions up our
heads. Guests look into the oceans of bowls as
vegetables die on their tongues. The table that
gathers us is an island where guerillas walk the
land while crocodiles surf. Children from
Alphabeta with empty palms dine with us;
switchblades in their eyes, silence in their
voices. When the playground is emptied of
children`s toys who needs roadblocks? When
the hour to drink from the cup of life ticks,
cholera breaks its spell on cracked lips Under
the spilt milk of the moon, I promise to be a
revolutionary, but my Nile, even without
tributaries comes lazy upon its own Nile. On
this night reserved for lovers of fire, I’m full
with the catch of gun wounds, and my boots
have suddenly become too reluctant to walk
me.

The poem “The Pulley” illustrates the
relationship between God and man especially
his benevolence to man. The first stanza
describes how God made man and blessed him
with worldly riches: “When God at first made
man, Having a glass of blessings standing by”.
The stanza also portrays the concept of Trinity
as seen in the Biblical creation story in
Genesis: “Let us, said he pour on him all we
can.
In the second stanza, God actually poured his
blessings of strength, beauty, wisdom, honour
and pleasure on man but withheld one
important blessing- The Gift of Rest:
“Perceiving that, alone of all his treasure, Rest
in the bottom lay”.
In the third stanza, God gave his reason for
withholding the gift of rest from man. He
withdrew this blessing because he felt giving
man the gift of rest would make him conceited
or excessively proud and man may not worship
him: “He would adore my gifts instead of me,
And rest in nature, not the God of Nature”. With
the withdrawal of rest from man, man is thrown
into perpetual restlessness so that he can
always remember his creator whether as a
result of goodness.
