Question 1

    DELE CHARLEY: The Blood of a Stranger

     

    Compare Kindo and his father in the play.


Observation

 

This was a popular question. Most of the candidates answered only one side of the question: they talked about only the similarities between Kindo and his father; they did not point out their differences.

 

The required answers should include:

 

  • The statement of the central themes of colonial exploitation, deception and greed.
  • The identification of the characters.
  • Their attitude to culture and foreign influence.
  • Their roles in the play; similarities and differences.
  • The climax: Kindo’s confrontation with Whitehead and his subsequent banishment by Santigi.

 

Candidates’ performance was fair.
