Anowa Homework Post

In our last class, we discussed the first scene/section of the play Anowa. The story is about a young women and her two parents, discussing the daughters decision to marry Kofi Ako. Her two parents represent oddly mirror the two "narrators", whom the author dubs "the-mouth-that-eats-salt-and-pepper" Compared to the other three works that we have read, Anowa seems to have a more modern, western feel to me. It is the first novel that has solely highlighted domestic, family troubles without emphasis on the westernization of Africa. Apart from a few lines in the introduction, the play seems to be entirely focused on a characters decision to marry.  Anowa as a character has been an interesting combination of somewhat understandable on the stage, yet viewed by both the narrator and her parents as being somewhat of a loose cannon. A question arises as to which characters are reliable in the story-telling, and which are meant to be the bias. I can't help to think that after reading this chapter that Anowa in the future may do something that will be considered reckless.
