The role played by siSwati folktales in building the character of boys : a socio-functionalist approach

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 103-107) / This study explored the role played by Siswati folktales in building the character of
boys. It included how boys are depicted in folktales and how this depiction influences
boys in real life. The study further investigated the correlation between traditional and
modern boys and tried to uncover the value of folktales regarding the boys of today.
The way boys are portrayed in folktales, their heroism in fighting and conquering
monsters, could encourage present-day boys to fight the monsters that they come
across daily. Based on the application of the lessons from folktales, the study examined
how societal changes affect boys today. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)
