Question

What do you think is the setting of the poem Night by wole Soyinka ?

Answer 1

Answer:

This poem draws a contrast between this world, in which nature is red in tooth and claw, and a “New World” in which distinctions between predator and prey cease to exist. The angels arrive at night to spread blessings upon the natural world, as demonstrated by their visit to every nest and den to bring sleep and comfort to all the creatures. When predators such as “wolves and tygers” hunt for prey, the angels intervene to keep the erstwhile victims safe until the New World can come. When this New World is arrives, the bloodiness of nature changes, as the lion’s former predatory nature becomes that of protector. The lion weeps “tears of gold,” and its heart becomes tender toward the herd animals it would have hunted in the old world.
