A government that was ruled by the people was suggested as opposed to a monarchy that had existed for

are continually wounded by a demon with a sword. Dante poses a
question to the reader:
With a society that embraces labels and stereotypes it is often hard to categorize an entire nation of people. Yet the British colonies were so apt to regard the African people as savage and barbaric that they looked upon them with a superior ignorant complex. They did not understand their culture and regarded their beliefs and customs as magical a
In his play, Death and the King’s Horseman, Wole Soyinka would have us examine every clash and conflict, save for the one involving culture. Certainly this may seem the most obvious part of the play, but we would do the general understanding of Death a disservice if we ignored one of the central conflicts in the play.
