THEMES IN EBERENDU’S THE WITHERED FLOWER
- Theme of Arrogance and Pride
In this context, it can be said that “Beauty without character”, is like tooth brush without tooth pest. Beauty is not complete without character and to achieve that one has to be of Good and loving heart towards his/her fellow human. This context also tries to explain how intelligence, beauty and hove Jennifer gets everything she wants at her back and call, we can agree together that all these without character is nothing.
Thus;
On one of the dates in an exquisite restaurant in town, Mike, for what seemed like the umpteenth time, proposed marriage to Jennifer. “Please, Jenny marry me,” he humbly requested with a ring in his hand. “How many times will I tell you that I’m not ready for marriage now? Ok, ok… because of my love for you I will no longer wait till I graduate from school. Once I get to my final year, we will ct married.”“Are you serious? (p.13)
Jennifer’s mum said to her daughter, that she should “make hay while the sun shines”. This implies more on the place of advice in our daily endeavor. Cynthia in the context of Eberendu’s novel believes that honestly pride goes before a fall. The prides has come and gone, now is the fall.
- Theme of patriotism
As portrayed by Eberendu, advice is a very key tool in our day to day activities, the teacher says “you can be one of the great ions of excellence of you face your studies with diligence and avoid gallivanting about, indulging in frivolities that abound in and outside this campus.“Education is the best gift”, has it been that the teacher had not pass through the system; you will agree with me that he would have had no way to face the class and the students there. This could be seen in the text thus;
“Good morning students.”“Good morning, Sir”“You are welcome to this great university that has produced great personalities in the history of Africa. You can be one of these great icons of excellence if you face your studies with diligence and avoid gallivanting about, indulging in frivolities that abound in and outside the campus. (p1)
The context here tries to tell us how friends should be. Has it been that Cynthia was not here to give Jennifer help, who knows what would have happened to Jennifer on the day that she was critically ill. This also proves that saying that says “Every disappointment is a blessing”.
Cynthia was on her way home when she realizes that she had forgetting her textbook in the classroom. Cynthia would have not known anything happening to Jennifer has it been she was with her textbook when she was going home from, but only for her to realize that she had forgotten her textbook.
Eberendu shows us as humans that it is always good for us to show concern about one another; Cynthia was pointed out as having this darling act unlike the one of Jennifer. Therefore, it’s good for us to love and care for one another.
Conclusion
From the foregoing, the playwright uses literary portray appreciated the author and exposes his feelings towards the happening in the society among some youths. It is a popular technique use a writers to connect with people on an emotional level, which is often far more moving than logic or reason.
For this reason, his feeling goes directly to the main character whose beauty ends up in regrets for making a wrong decision.
