Characterisation in isiXhosa drama with specific reference to two isiXhosa dramas

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The main aim of study is to investigate characterisation in two of Ngewu's dramas.
Ngewu's dramas are contemporary and many scholars have not yet had time to research
them. The story in the drama Amadada la afunani ezintsaneni ?( 1998), is about the
sexual abuse of children. This is new because the abuse of small children is not seen to
indicate culture especially now that even fathers abuse their children. In the olden days
children used to look to grown -ups for protection of every kind.
The story in the second drama Yeha Mfazi Obulala Indada (1997) , is about a wife who
hires assassins to kill her husband. In the past wives were submissive to their husbands.
It was unheard of a wife challenging the husband's authority, let alone hiring assassins to
kill him.
Chapter 1 introduces the aim, the scope, the theories and the methods of the study.
Chapter 2 deals with the plot structure of the dramas Amadada la afunani
ezintsaneni? (1998) and Yeha Mfazi Obulala Indada (1997)
