초록
This study examines the relationship features in Ngũgĩ’s novels. Ngũgĩ employs the use of allegory as a literary tool to reveal the colonial and post-colonial history in his nation, Kenya. His allegory introduces “love and hate” relationships for symbolic representations of what happened during that period of time. Hostile hateful relationships are caused by the aftermath of the imperialists’ rules but romantic relationships are also made at the same time. The image of the love and hate which the characters convey in Ngũgĩ’s narrative is a coded way of describing that historical period, along with hope for the future. So their various relationships are associated with oppression, repression, betrayal, hope, desire, and rebirth, and can symbolize two-faced situations between the colonizer and the colonized, the ruler and the ruled, the rich and the poor, and the exploiter and the exploited. In Ngũgĩ’s works, such conflicting positions between the main characters suggest that individuals can not be emancipated from the social forces which affect them. For Ngũgĩ, if abhorrent relationships are allegory of the decadent state of his country which exiled him, then romantic relationships are allegory of his cherished love for his country.
Abstract
This study examines the relationship features in Ngũgĩ’s novels. Ngũgĩ employs the use of allegory as a literary tool to reveal the colonial and post-colonial history in his nation, Kenya. His allegory introduces “love and hate” relationships for symbolic representations of what happened during that period of time. Hostile hateful relationships are caused by the aftermath of the imperialists’ rules but romantic relationships are also made at the same time. The image of the love and hate which the characters convey in Ngũgĩ’s narrative is a coded way of describing that historical period, along with hope for the future. So their various relationships are associated with oppression, repression, betrayal, hope, desire, and rebirth, and can symbolize two-faced situations between the colonizer and the colonized, the ruler and the ruled, the rich and the poor, and the exploiter and the exploited. In Ngũgĩ’s works, such conflicting positions between the main characters suggest that individuals can not be emancipated from the social forces which affect them. For Ngũgĩ, if abhorrent relationships are allegory of the decadent state of his country which exiled him, then romantic relationships are allegory of his cherished love for his country.
