One fundamental and essential point: africans are people, the characters are normal people, the events are real human events. Draw his experience and the experience of hamlet, or any other tragic hero. Part 1 of the text: very orderly society that are governed by specific rules. Think about motives related to order and disruption of social order. Narrative voice: does the voice exercise any judgment.
