Final thoughts on So Long a Letter
| • Why does Ramatoulaye include Jacqueline’s story, what does it mean to her? • Thoughts on the on-going contrasts between Aunty Nabou (young Nabou’s mother) and Lady mother-in-law (Binetour’s mother) and young Nabou vs. Binetou. • The significance of money. • Ramatoulaye’s thoughts about her 12 children and the future • Daba’s key role. • Young Aissatou’s pregnancy–Fermata vs. Ramatoulaye • How does Ramatoulaye change? The repetition of “I Survived” in chapter 16 (reminds me of Gloria Gaynor’s song!) How do you see her? • What did you think of her response to the proposals from Tasmir and Daouda Dieng. • What did you think of the discussion about the role of women in politics. • The final pages… tradition vs. modernism’ • Final thoughts on the novel… any points of comparison with The Doctor’s Wife? |
