SECRECY IN YEJIDE KILANKO’S “DAUGHTERS WHO WALK THIS PATH” AND OYINKAN BRAITHWAITES “MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER”
Abstract:
This comparative analysis explores the theme of secrecy in two contemporary Nigerian novels: Yejide Kilanko’s “Daughters Who Walk This Path” and Oyinkan Braithwaite’s “My Sister, the Serial Killer.” The novels, set against the backdrop of Nigerian society, delve into the intricate layers of secrecy, unraveling the consequences and motivations behind concealed truths.
In “Daughters Who Walk This Path,” Kilanko weaves a narrative around the lives of young girls navigating the challenges of adolescence in a conservative society. The novel explores the secrecy surrounding taboo subjects, such as sexual abuse and cultural expectations, as the characters grapple with the consequences of keeping silent. Kilanko skillfully intertwines the personal struggles of the characters with the broader societal implications of maintaining secrecy.
On the other hand, Braithwaite’s “My Sister, the Serial Killer” takes a darker turn, examining the clandestine activities of a woman who becomes an accomplice to her sister’s murders. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of Lagos, exploring the implications of familial secrecy and the complicity of silence in the face of heinous acts. Braithwaite uses a thriller format to delve into the psychological depths of secrecy, investigating the dynamics of loyalty, guilt, and societal expectations.
This comparative study employs a thematic lens to analyze how both novels depict secrecy as a complex and multifaceted phenomenon. The examination encompasses the motivations behind keeping secrets, the impact on individual characters, and the broader societal repercussions. Additionally, the study considers the role of secrecy in shaping the narrative structure and character development in the respective works.
By juxtaposing these two novels, this analysis aims to contribute to a deeper understanding of the cultural, social, and psychological dimensions of secrecy in contemporary Nigerian literature. The study ultimately underscores the significance of secrecy as a narrative device that reflects and critiques the complexities of the societies depicted in Kilanko’s and Braithwaite’s literary works.
