- W2997831222 abstract "This paper analytically looks at Emeka Nwabueze’s attempts at a dramatic portrayal of Igbo cultural values as he functions as the eye, conscience and intelligence of the Igbo world. The paper examined the contexts of some cultural values embedded in the plays. The Spokesman of the Oracle and The Dragon’s Funeral among other perspectives are accurate expressions of the Igbo cosmology and revival of the peoples’ way of life and therefore proves that drama is influenced by stories, culture, social, moral issues, myths, and folktales. Explicitly, this analysis in assessing the aesthetics of Nwabueze’s creative ingenuity discovers that Igbo values and cultural sensibilities are incorporated in his plays; for instance, he expresses in the Spokesman of the Oracle the belief that Igbos are not careless about naming because they believe that names are tied to destinies. Such names are therefore, tied to the philosophy, psychology, religion or even the social background at a child’s birth. He uses powerful characterizations to depict that whatever a man sows is what he reaps. Ikemefuna is also crafted to expound the importance of children over barrenness. In The Dragon’s Funeral, he portrays the graphic nature of Igbo people’s use of proverbs and its clear lifelike or realistic description. He uses proverbs in his plays as a powerful aspect of culture to epitomize the realities of the Igbo people’s struggle philosophies, ambition and even their woes. He uses Okeugo, the Whiteman’s, surrogate to display the Igbo belief that ‘a man who shakes a tree trunk may shake his heart and head to extinction, hence his, funeral.’ Adaugo, a woman character expounds the status of Igbo women. The Dragon’s Funeral though a historical reconstruction of the past Aba women’s riot is used to depict the Igbo narrative technique. In evaluation of the selected plays, this study adopts context analysis as the preferred analytical approach" @default.
