2. Both characters belonged to the educated class;
3. Mr. Onyimdze is a young  barrister who dispenses his judgement with

truth and fair play;

1. Mr Borofosem is a merchant who lacks the sense of decision and right judgement, which is reflected on his unstable attitude as  he is being tossed about by the wife’s outrageous behaviour;
2. Mr. Onyimdze’s presentation in the play as a custodian of African culture, who, not minding his British education still has value for  traditional  code of conduct;
3. Mr Borofosem is a henpecked husband who allows his wife to direct what he does in the matrimonial home;
4. Mr. Onyimdze wins  a bigamy case in favour of Miss Tsiba who is bewitched by foreign system of marriage;
