It also gives us a picture of the cohesion that existed between the individual and southern Nigerian society. The conflict between tradition and modernity is also reflected in the play. The play mirrors the socio-cultural pattern‚ the pang and the sufferings of the swamp dwellers and underlines the need for absorbing new ideas.
