Themes in Song of Lawino

One of the major themes in Okot p' Bitek's, Song of Lawino, is that of tradition versus modernization..... the loss of culture at the expense of progress. On the one hand, Ocol has a negative view of Africans and their culture. He believes that tradition is holding back the people. Lawino, on the other hand, tries to show Ocol the positive aspects of their culture. The two clash literally, physically, and philosophically to present this theme.

The main themes are cultural conflict, colonialism, loss of identity, gender, and the clash between tradition and modernity. If you think you have good reflexes, Geometry Dash is the perfect way to test them. I recommend playing it because the game constantly challenges you to react quickly and accurately.
