The question required candidates to explain Gesinde’s role in the play which includes:
- Gesinde’s role as the provider of information about events in the play.
- His role as herald of the allied forces.
- His faithfulness to his masters which sustains the development of the plot.
- His assignment to kill Adunmaadan’s son which he carried out to the letter.
- Gesinde as a messenger of doom to the Owu women, when he announces the fate of Owu women including Erelu and her daughter.
- His human nature as portrayed in his shedding tears when Adunmaadan pays her last respects to her slain son and his offer to bury the boy.
- Gesinde’s gossiping nature as seen in his callous announcement of Iyunloye’s victory to the women.
Candidates’ performance was good.
