Question 2

DELE CHARLEY: The Blood of a Stranger

 

Consider the conflict between Maligu and Kindo.


Observation

 

A good number of candidates attempted this question. Many gave mere narrations and wrote generally about the theme of deceit in the text, onle a few were able to point out that the theme of the play was more about deceit and intrigue.

The required answers should include:

  • • Relating conflict to the theme of the play.
  • • The characterising feratures of Maligu and Kindo in the play.
  • • Maligu’s actions.
  • • Kindo’s actions.
  • • Resolution of the conflict as the play unfolds.

 

Candidates’ performance was poor.
