Literary Artist As The Focal Lens Of The Society: A Contextual Analysis Of Festus Iyayi’s The Contract
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: It is a reality that no one can be an island, entire of his own. Whatever one chooses to be or eventually becomes is informed by the tune of the drum. The paper portrays two players of the same origin in the novel but with different perceptions of what the society should be, based on the old order and the new order respectively, with a cue taken from the past and the present states of the society. The old order in Ogiefavours a society of fair share and responsibility while Eweh Obala of the new order opts for a capitalist society dominated by avarice. The two of them entered into deals, with Ogie hoping to effect a positive change from within while EwehObala vows to outplay Ogie with the instrumentalities of power and number. None of them is eventually able to achieve his goal, thereby living the possibility of a bleaking future for the contemporary society. Keywords: Reality, Perception, Bleaking Future, Contemporary Society.
