Well, assuming any of these characters can type and had the equipment to do so, this is what would've been the perspective of Nyasha when she is beaten and called a whore-
(The following exchange is entirely fictional and takes place inside Nyasha's mind)
Father father father, it's always been between us, hasn't it? No one else has ever been truly my opponent, not Tambu nor Mother nor even the Whites- it has always been you. When you struck me, I finally understood. I finally understood that we are going to do this forever, that we will be locked in combat for an eternity. Now that you have stopped responding to me, taken me as the disgrace and disappointment I am and leaving me to rot, I have had time to think. I now know that I don't want anyone anymore- I don't want you, or Mother, or Tambu. I want them to leave me alone, in the darkness where I belong, where I can finally rest. I don't belong here Daddy; and now I finally know.
Charles. I totally get what you say. But COME ON MAN! WHORE IS A BAD WORD DON'T SAY IT ON HERE!!!!! Ok. Well, it's nice to see you read this and know what you're talking about. You didn't say anything about the cigarette insident though so I feel like you left out a REALLY BIG THING.
ReplyDeleteI think you definitely get at the relationship between Babamukuru and Nyasha here, and at Nyasha's self-destructiveness. Well done.
