A comparative study of the portrayal of characters in A.C. Jordan's The wrath of the ancestors, Modikwe Dikobe's The marabi dance and G.B. Sinxo's Unojayiti wam

The characters encountered in The wrath of the ancestors, The Marabi dance and Unojayiti wam bear on an African identity, and they reflect a purely African conception of life. The "Africanness" of their outlook can only be determined when measured against the real life African socio-cultural background. Therefore, as a starting point in this study, I has been essential to explore the various debates about African literature, in an attempt to reveal any common factors that can be used as the basis for a study of the portrayal of characters in this field.
