MNDY: The fact that the show was adapted from the books tells you all you need to know. And I tell you, the show doesn't even come 25% close to the thrill you'll get from the books. It is known. |

DIKEnaWAR: Please, pardon me if my reply is not explanatory enough. I read the book just once and the very days i read it is something I can't remember. Just to tell you how far it's. Know it well the novel is a tragedy in which we learn to understand what kills great men. Ezeulu, you mentioned is a great man, no doubt. But I think his ultimate reason for not eating those yams is to punish the people. I can remember I read it the elders saying they will take the punishment on their heads. Ezeulu only used the god as a coverup. When the people realize their yam will perish make them to follow the new religion, which is Christianity. I would have given a good picture of the whole thing but I have forgotten most characters and events in the book. To worsen the matter, a friend of mine had taken it away. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Olakunle007: Worthy observation, but the question is; is Ezeulu supposed to eat more than one sacred yam in one moon? Wouldn't the action have set him against his god who had assured him of fighting the batte as his own, while he was in Okperi? Those yams marked the moon(months) in a year and for Ezeulu to eat them would amount to arrogating to himself the powers of a god, who decides what moon and time it was in a year(don't forget planting season and all revolve round this). Do you think Nwaka, Eze Idemili and other critics would have spared Ezulu if he had eaten more than one yam? Though Achebe gave Ezeulu no chances, Ulu could be likened to the proverbial lizard that ruined his mother's funeral. Ulu was like the dog that wanted to answer two masters at the same time and broke his jaw in the process. Ulu gave Idemili and Ogwugwu the land and mat with which they buried it, because in trying to hurt its priest, it shot itself on the foot. It chose a bad time to punish its priest, for whatever infraction. 1 Like 1 Share |

oluamid: Lolz @ "It Is Known", you got that from the Dothraki . . . right? - But I heard somewhere that Jon Snow was left dead in the book in contrast to his recent resurrection in the last episode 'Home' - HBO is said to have plans of deviating from the book in certain circumstances! - I actually want to order for the book! I hope the book is as brilliantly worded as HBO's screenplay in GAME OF THRONES, a thing that made HBO earn my respect and admiration apart from extreme suspense too |
