Description

This book examines the plot and the characters of Adipo Sidang's play Parliament of Owls. It is a crucial study in modern African drama and a complimentary to comedic and satirical political allegories of the rest of the world. It is especially complimentary to the likes of George Orwel;s Animal Farm, and therefore, crucial to the study of comparative literature. This critical book analyzes the plot and the characters in a peculiar way which helps learners and teachers of literature to grow confidence in personal analysis. To do this, this critical book introduces a series of questions which help the reader of the play to turn the bare facts of the play into elements of literature, the elements which other critics and examiners look for and talkl about. Once learnt, these skills can easily be applied to any other play and indeed to other genres of literature.
