Visceral Intertwining of an Individual with the Fate of a Community in Wole Soyinka’s The Strong Breed

K. Naveen Kumar, M.A., M.Phil., Ph.D. Candidate

Indomitable Spirit

Wole Soyinka is a renowned Nigerian dramatist, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1986, for his accomplishment in the field of literature. As a writer, he is greatly recognized for his creative works. Yet his home country rewarded him solitary confinements, sentence to death and many exiles. However, no orders and punishments have subdued his strong will. Instead, like Sphinxes, he came out from all difficulties with great energy to enlighten and serve his people. Such a consciousness reflects in his play aesthetically. He infuses the Western stage with new dramatic possibilities while commenting on Yoruba tradition and Africa’s modern political and social realities. He is a keen observer of his land, culture and customs and very eminent in expressing the observance in writings.
