Every Character In A Novel Actually Exist. by bezzus(f): 9:01pm On May 22, 2015
Lots of time, when you see a movie or read a story we only imagine the characters which we only see in our head

other times we get emotionally involve, draw into it but it later fade away. Going through my anthology I came across one very famous character Mrs Malaprop in The book : The rivals.
She is a typical example of Our Wonderful out going first lady. PEJ.

Mrs. Malaprop is the chief comic figure of the play, thanks to her continual misuse of words that sound like the words she intends to use, but mean something completely different.

I happen to know a man who the typical description of Wole Soyinka 's Lakunle. He teaches in a Private secondary school but with a weird and creepy attitude.
This man is over 50 still single but very intelligent. He wears tacky clothes to school and carries lots if books which is not even related to the subject he teaches.

Lakunle is the village teacher with big grammar. He wanted to married the most beautiful girl (sidi) in the village without paying her bride price. To him paying of bride price is babaric, outdated, rejected, degrading, unspeakable,..... But in the end, he lost her to balee Baroka
