Summary
Core Theme
The "Hemlock" section of the play serves as an introduction, using a Yoruba proverb to analyze the themes of power, tradition versus modernity, and the consequences of forceful leadership in the fictional land of Ismoland.
how are you today this is digital school
brought to you by unit of your global
solutions I happily welcome you to Kim
G's harvest hemlock lesson happy learning
welcome to this lesson kanjis harvest
the lesson is brought to you by unit of
your global solutions and it is taught
by Nelson this lesson covers the the
the hemlock this is the opening section
of the play it is the microcosm micro
segment of the entire play what happens
or takes place in the two parts of the
play as reviewed in clear images using
the hemlock the National Anthem analyzes
the theme of the play and begins the
drama the pot that eat fat its bottom
must be scorched the squirrel that will
long crack the nuts
its food pad must be sore the sweetest
wine has flowed down the tappers
shattered shines take note that the
national anthem is taken from the Yoruba proverb
in the previous slide we are told that the
the
anthem is taken from a Yoruba proverb
now let me explain this the first part
of the provi maintains that one has to
pay the price to achieve a goal
this means that kenji has taken power by
force from Oba den lola for he has not
paid anything for it on the reverse of it
it
kenji has to pay a price for whatever
wrong he is doing to satisfy his power
hunger the last part of the anthem talks
about the choral waste of human effort
energy while no purpose has really been
saved we see in the play that kenji has
gone to the mountain he is fasting for
the image this seems to be a waste of
time and energy as his fasting seems to
be hypocritical all what can G is doing
seems not to be in the interest of the
people of his molé and he has his ego
going ahead boys and girls we see that
sura me the junior oppa and the
superintendent are defined in the
audience dear learners we must note here
that the superintendent is the first
manifestation of the new race the people
of is mul and are experiencing a change
in race that has come with its new law
Kenji and his group are the new race the
superintendent is the first to be seen
representing the new race he confronts
the o'biden lula and his royal team the
rural team oppa dan Lula's continues
singing the anthem ignoring the presence
of the superintendent the national
anthem goes on further to reflect the
prevailing political situation in ismo
land in which modern dictatorship has
succeeded displacing the old tradition
dear learners as the anthem continues
the superintendent rushes in agitated
and orders them not to speak of the king
in the manner they sung amid ceremi
expresses the notion of people that the
king is a God learners it comes to light
that when the superintendent attempts to
silence the royal drums it represents
the power given to him by the new regime
yet his power over Oba is only physical
and therefore very limited kenji who is
the president of his molé and has taken
power by force from the hands of the
traditional ruler we also see that in
the place of the augury fraternity the
traditional body
kenji has now formed the new augury
fraternity reformed augury fraternity
which has six men in it named augury one
augury two up to augury six kenji does
all these to prove a difference between
the new regime and old traditional
leadership his leadership has to be
modern old people cannot save as augury
he needs young ones with modern minds
dear learners boys and girls on the
other hand ceremi explains the
sacrificial part that the OPA has to
play he maintains that the Obus duties
are not limited to taking care of his
subjects and he says this they
complained because the first of the new
yams melted first in the Obus mouth but
the dead will not witness we drew the
poison from the root dear learners the
open normally draw the poison out of the
route of the new yam while the drama and
the augury speak about the unfortunate
plight of their former leader sir Umi
has something to say he has an answer he
invokes the the shrine of aura siruni is
talking about a cult of the Dead which
regrets the past and doubts the future
with the new regime that has kanji as
president boys and girls when OPA Dan
Lola hears this he says to himself
quietly the royal Python may be good at
hissing but it seems the Scorpions tail
as we conclude the hemlock dear learners
ceremi describes the arrogance of the
new ruler and says that he is swollen
headed very proud when opa den lola
hears this he advances dancing gently in
what apparently is a note of foreboding
and speaks in poetry about things to
come or to happen in ismo land and he
says and stiff arms strain on stubborn
crooks so delve with the left foot again
for ill luck once more is the only
certainty we know after this they dance
in a foreboding way joined by the
retinue thereafter we see the scene
concluding with the Caged prison bars
separating den Lola and Sara me while
