| dc.description.abstract | This research delves into African drama, deploying structuralism as a lens to examine the intricacies of storytelling within the plays of two prominent playwrights, Wole Soyinka and Ahmed Yerima. Through an exploration of textual analysis, the research aims to provide a comprehensive overview of the structural elements within the chosen plays. The research is founded upon a firm theoretical and methodological framework to identify markers of structural elements and the subsequent interpretation of these elements within the broader context of culture in African drama. This study also examines the historical and cultural contexts in which the selected plays are set, thereby enriching our understanding of how structuralism aligns with the social, political, and cultural dimensions within African drama. Ultimately, this work is contributing to a deeper understanding of the diverse and intricate narrative approaches that characterize African drama as exemplified by Wole Soyinka and Ahmed Yerima in Death and the Kings Horseman, and The Trials of Ovoramwen respectively. By examining these plays through a structuralist perspective, we endeavored to illuminate the profound intricacies of storytelling and to discern the broader significance of structuralism in the context of African theatrical works. | |
