Introduction
Hello to you, fellow reader, this post aims to examine the theme of death in the drama Once Upon An Elephant By Bosede Afolayan. The post will be useful for students, teachers and lovers of literature.
Theme of Death
In the drama Once Upon An Elephant, death is also one of the central message.
Death truly served as a reward for sin_ such as greed and wickedness committed by some characters in the drama.
Serubawon and Olaniyonu (aka Ajanaku) were rewarded with tragic end.
In chapter 14 of the drama, Ajanaku's charm backfired while trying to finalize the ijedodo rite with the use of the sixth virgin (Desola) and Serubawon also committed suicide once all his hidden secrets had been revealed by Iya-Agba.
Once Upon An Elephant by Bosede Afolayan is considered a tragedy because the theme of death was employed to give it a tragic end and a tragic hero.
