    Jina la kitabu

    Jina la kitabu linasadifu vizuri yaliyomo ndani ya kitabu hiki. Msanii anaonesha mivutano mbalimbali katika kitabu hiki.

    Kwanza kuna mvutano kati ya Yasmin na wazazi wake. Huu unatokana na Yasmin kumwacha mume wake Raza ambaye wazazi wake walimlazimisha aolewe naye.

    Pili, kuna mvutano kati ya Yasmin na Raza. Yasmin hakumpenda kabisa Raza, kwani kiumri Raza alikuwa ni sawa na baba yake wa kumzaa. Hivyo katika maisha yake ya ndoa na Raza wakawa na mivutano ya kila siku.

    Tatu, kuna mvutano kati ya wakoloni na vijibwa vyao na wananchi wa kawaida wakiwakilishwa na Denge, Chande, Sukutua, Mambo na wengine. Hawa wanataka uhuru wa kujiamulia mambo yao wenyewe, wanataka uhuru wa kumiliki njia kuu za uchumi badala ya wakoloni.

    Nne, kuna mvutano kati ya Yasmin na Shihab. Huu unatokana na wivu wa kimapenzi. Shihab alikuwa na wivu sana kwa mke wake, matokeo yake akamnyima uhuru kwa kumweka utawani hatimaye Yasmin akamkimbia.

    Mwisho, kuna mivutano ya kinafsia ambayo iliwahusu wahusika wenyewe. Hawa walikuwa na migongano ya kimawazo katika vichwa vyao. Mfano ni Yasmin, Bukheti, Denge, n.k

    Kufaulu kwa mwandishi

    –         Mwandishi amefaulu sana kwa kuonesha mvutano wa vijana na wazee.

    –         Kifani amefaulu sana hasa katika uteuzi mzuri wa lugha na ujenzi wa wahusika. Lugha ni rahisi na inayoeleweka kwa kila mtu.

    Kutofaulu kwa mwandishi

    –         Suluhisho la mgogoro kati ya wakoloni na wananchi halijaoneshwa, kwani tunaona tu wapigania uhuru wanawekwa ndani na wengine wanatoroka kwenda nje ya nchi. Je, hawa watu watatumia mbinu gani katika kujikomboa? Msanii hajaonesha.

    –         Matumizi ya lugha ya Kiingereza ni udhaifu mwingine  wa msanii, kwani mtu asiyefahamu lugha hiyo hataweza kuelewa ujumbe uliomo kwa urahisi.

    –         Msanii hajaonesha mipaka ya uhuru unaotakiwa kwa watoto wetu. Kwa mfano, Yasmin ametumia uhuru wake wa kumchagua Shihab lakini naye ndoa yao haikudumu. Au uhuru wa Yasmin wa kuolewa na kuachika ndio uhuru unaotakiwa? Msanii hajaonesha vizuri.

The man appears to have lost his weight in a span of time, and he is very suspicious about the blood test that he is about to go and perform
    The laboratory technician was his friend who had an ambiguous moment when it comes on giving out the test results. The man’s test truly indicated that he was HIV positive
    While the technician asks himself severally on how he will give the results to his friend, he remembers the way he attended the funerals of his own three blood brothers in Bukoba.
    The disease seems to unite the whole East Africa
    CHAPTER ONE
    The author cites in Adyeri’s home where a sister called Abooki cooks a very delicious meal, then after eating, the father appears while staggering due to his high intake of alcohol, Abooki brings some food for her father where Atwoki (Abooki’s brother) spills the food tray.
    The struggles begin, where Adyeri beats Atwoki severely, on the process, the mother ( Amoti ) returns home from the market only to find adyeri beating Atwoki. Amoti interrupts where now the beating also meets her. It’s a fight between a mother and a father. Atwoki tries to save his mother, and when she gets a chance she runs away. Adyeri also leaves home to another woman (nyumba Ndogo), he didn’t come back that night.
    CHAPTER TWO
    Vicky ( the daughter of Adyeri’s late sister) comes back home with a fiancé (munyamahanga - alien). Earlier Vicky ran away from home after having a serious fight with Adyeri his uncle when he finds her along the street riding a bycicle contrary to the ethics of the tribe. Amoti does not receive this guest happily. The fiancé (Akena) wants to marry  Vicky, but adyeri imposes very high bride price for him which makes him (akena ) to fail to marry Vicky.
    The bride price was:
    15 heads ofcattle, including three bulls;
    8 goats
    50,000/= shillings for buying bark cloth
    15,000/= shillings for buying daddy’s walking stick and
    2 jerry cans of beer
    Akena leaves away with failure altogether with his panel of negotiation.
    Vicky remains stressed and frustrated, Amoti is happy for what has happened. Adyeri curses the man for failing to reach for the deal.
    CHAPTER THREE
    Abooki and Atwoki are at school (std II), Atwoki, joyfully playing childish games, very talented ones, but poverty undermines him they don’t have even a radio at his home. From school, they go home together with Abooki, but Abooki plays an extra role of cooking the evening meal.
    Araali is their uncle, he comes to visit them, he brings them with gifts, and they really love him. He brings food, this act shames Adyeri who comes home alcoholized and staggering. Adyeri accuses himself of failing to provide for his house.
    CHAPTER FOUR
    Vicky joins the group of whores ( Kunihira and Tusiime) who did not well finish their secondary education due to their bad adolescent behaviours. They own a tailoring shop at Kachwamba, financed by a Muzungu boyfriend; they finally manage to pollute Vicky’s mind. They are prostitutious advising Vicky to have ran away with that man (Akena). They convince her to have boyfriends, Vicky is deceived, falls in the trap, she adorns her self, the boys chase her like the way flies follow the rotten meet. Vicky succeeds to fish a big fish, she moves away from home for once and for all. Gone for good.
    CHAPTER FIVE
    Adyeri is welcome at Kinyamasika Primary school to attend the graduation, where he is mocked for what he has achieved in his life, what is he proud of now?, as he has already grown old, what memories will he leave in the world? The children sing a song that reflects the above message. He even leaves the hall before the end of the ceremony. In this chapter Adyeri is reflected of being an ex head master of St. Leo’s High School, where he engaged in love affairs with his secretary Birugi, he built a house for her, and opened  a shop for her, yet he had many other maids around. He is then approved of having HIV/AIDS. He breaks away with Birugi, where his belongings are thrown out of the house he built for her. Now the children’s education s cared by uncle Araali.

David’s father is also a womanizer, and he does not act as a father to David. David takes his father like a brother; they ironically plant the advertisements that say “JOIN THE FIGHT AGAINST AIDS. USE CONDOMS” Atwoki is connected to a girl/woman called Edda by David.
    CHAPTER EIGHT
    Vicky is married (locally) to a wealthy business man, Vicky cooks good food, (this man had married many wives and divorced them and four children)  un fortunately Vicky  is barren,  she cannot deliver babies; this forces them to go to the witch doctor to check for a medicine, by the advice of her husband
    They travel during the mid night through their car, they reach to the witch doctors home, he demands money (the witch doctor). He uses shared tools to prick Vicky’s stomach and tattoos it with his wizard dose. He lies that Vicky will have twins. Vicky is contaminated by HIV.
    CHAPTER NINE
    Adyeri dies of HIV/AIDS, many mourns for him, particularly his drinking pals. they argue a lot of things, like where did Adyeri get this disease, can his son be the victim too? no! where is the origin of this disease? The Bazungu?
    Atwoki goes to Kampala, three months passes, no word from him, he just sent a little money. So the burden of responsibility rests in Abooki’s hands
    Abooki boards a bus to Kasese to see if Vicky can finance them, she finds Vicky is very sick, Vicky gives her a sufficient (large) amount of money. Vicky is affected already.
    Abooki visits a friend called John, john cons her and rapes her, spoils her virginity
    CHAPTER TEN
    Abooki is more stressed, she suspects of being infected, she goes for a blood test where she is proved of being negative. The technician( Jonathan)  loves  Abooki at the first sight, same applies to Abooki.
    Atwoki arrives in Katumba, he finds his mother is already buried, he was very healthily poor.
    They go to visit uncle Araali who forgives Atwoki and sympathetically welcomes him home. Uncle’s home was very beautiful.

    THE BLACK HERMIT ANALYSIS BOOK BY NGUGI WA THIONG'O


    THE BLACK HERMIT ANALYSIS BOOK BY NGUGI WA THIONG'O

    Title:The Black Hermit,
    a play by Kenyan author Ngũgĩ wa Thiongʼo,
     THE BLACK HERMIT by Ngūgī wa Thiong'o – MATHAGA


    SYNOPSIS OF THE BOOK
    is the story of a young man, Remi, who is the first of his tribe to attend university. Amidst the backdrop of a politically torn country, Remi himself is torn between his sense of tribalism and nationalism. This struggle runs deep, as he finds it at the heart of his afflictions between himself, his marriage and familial relations, and his greater sense of obligations to his people and the country. The overwhelming nature of these problems drives him into isolation as a black hermit. His self-imposed exile into the city leads him to find contentment in the Jane, his new lover, and nightly clubbing. However, after he is lobbied to return to the tribe, he must now confront the demons of his past.

    Act 1
    Scene 1

    The play opens with Remi's wife and mother, Thoni and Nyobi, respectively, carrying out household chores. A conversation is struck as both admit to suffering from the absence of their beloved Remi. Thoni's distress is caused by her lack of fulfillment of motherly and womanly obligations to her tribe. Nyobi seeks to comfort her daughter-in-law, directing her to escape her sorrow: I hate to see your youth wearing away, falling into bits like a cloth hung in the sun.

    A knock at the door distracts them only to reveal the presence of one of the tribe's elders. A premonition had occurred in the village messenger, an oracle, that the strength and bounty of the village would return should the green seed, Remi, along with his university education, be planted. The elder, on behalf of the other elders, approaches Nyobi asking for her blessing in the plan to bring Remi back to the tribe. She obliges the messenger and mission her blessing but seeks out the power of Christ to return her son.

    Scene 2

    The elders of the tribe are congregating to discuss the plight of the tribe. Uhuru, or freedom, was promised yet not delivered by the Africanist Party and their neighbors who they conceive to be aspiring against them are surely to be blamed for their misfortune. Their salvation would be in Remi, the prodigal, educated son of the tribe, would lead their tribe back to strength and influence; therefore, the leader along with additional elders, along with Nyobi's blessing, elect to travel to the city.

    Scene 3

    Nyobi fears the elder's efforts will not work without divine intervention from the God of Christ. She visits the tribe's priest for spiritual guidance and comfort, not only for herself but for her daughter-in-law, Thoni, whose demeanor is affected by Remi's absence. She doubts the tribe's elders will be effective in returning him, so after the priest offers her words of comfort, she pleads the case for him to travel to the city and convince Remi to return. He obliges.

    Act 2
    Scene 1

    Over the last few weeks, Remi has become increasingly mindful of home. Jane, his long time lover since moving to the city, has noticed this and addressed him about it. His thoughts and concerns are with his mother, so much so that he has become distant from Jane and negligent in remembering their plans. Jane wants for Remi to open up about his past, even suggesting that the two should visit his home. Nevertheless, he evades her inquiries, and the two depart to a night club.

    Scene 2

    Remi then gets a surprise visit from a longtime friend and colleague, Omange. The two engage in an impassioned debate about social issues in the country. At a glance, it appears to be of the typical matters. race relations, politics and regime transitions, tribalism versus nationalism, etc., are all brought up. Yet, things take a turn, as Remi discusses his politically active past at his university and in his tribe.

    He goes on to reveal that his childhood crush, who was to be married to his brother, was left widowed following his brother's accidental death, and that under tribal custom, he was to marry her. This was his reason for leaving, as surely, she could not have loved him, and, given his political ideology, he could not agree with following tribal law.

    Just as Omange suggests that Remi return home to reconcile this grievance, the elders enter; Remi requests of Omange to depart and to prevent Jane from entering. The elders lobby Remi regarding the same manner, his return to the tribe. However, they desire of him to lead them politically and to be the liaison between them and the government. Remi grows agitated, as the same tribalistic passions he once escaped have followed him. He sends them off, as he vaguely fails to agree or disagree with their demand.

    Their departure is followed shortly by the arrival of the tribe's Christian Priest. Shockingly, he too arrives to ask for Remi's return. This time, he approaches the task from a religious and emotional perspective: God needs you... Your mother needs you.Finally, after this emotional lobby, Remi agrees to return. He comes to the realization that up until now he has been a hermit, hiding from his conflictions.

    Scene 3

    Days pass as the date of departure draws near. For obvious reasons, Jane is upset that he's leaving and begs him to allow her to join him. He provides the reasoning that their cultural differences wouldn't permit her to function within the tribe. Further interrogation reveals that Remi's true reasoning for denying her the trip, and the reason for his coming to the city: his tribal marriage. She becomes distraught and leaves him.

    Act 3
    Scene 1

    The day has now come when Remi is to return. While Nyobi is filled with excitement, Thoni contains fear in her heart. Premonitions and dreams fill her mind with symbols that signal to her a less than harmonious return of her beloved. Comforting from both Nyobi and the Pastor prove ineffective, and upon the arrival of Remi, her feelings were proven true. In his return, he detests the tribalistic urges pushed by the elders and rejects the efforts of both his mother and the Pastor to reunite with his wife.

    Scene 2

    Filled deeply with sorrow, Thoni attempts to escape the village. Her destiny is to be exiled to the country of darkness -a place where she's visited before- of where she will be free of the pain she experiences. A local woman petitions her to abandon the voyage and return to the tribe. Her efforts are to no avail, however, as Thoni disappears.

    Scene 3

    Remi remains blinded to Thoni's love until the delivery of her letter, where she pours out her heart. This news transforms his demeanor instantaneously, as he rushes to his house in pursuit of her. To his avail, he finds nothing but Nyobi and the pastor. Nyobi unaffectionately brushes his concerns until she acknowledges the sincerity of them, which causes her to attitude to shift. Nevertheless, all parties become disheartened at the return of Thoni's corpse to the house. Remi is left in pain and sorrow at the sight of his deceased wife as the play concludes.

    Themes and concepts

    Multiple themes reoccur throughout the play and factor into the plot and character development. One of the main themes involves the pull between Nationalism and Tribalism that exists in the Post-Colonial country. We see these two varying attitudes on political life expressing themselves in how Remi and the elders in his tribe seek to address the tribe's issues. This can be seen directly in Scene three of Act three where Remi and his friend, Omange, agree that to deal with tribalism with ruthless vigour is a part of the solution.
