Abstract EN
The study attempts to apply Postcolonialism on Wole Soyinka's The Lion and the Jewel (1959).
It aims to find out the reason behind how and why the characters behaved in Soyinka's The Lion and the Jewel, from a Postcolonial perspective.
The study depends on the main concepts of the postcolonial theorists such as Frantz Fanon, Edward Said, Homi Bhabha, and Gayatri Spivak.
It focuses on the clash of generations in the play, depicting a struggle between the new generation represented by Lakunle, and the old generation represented by Baroka.
It depicts Lakunle as a harmless false leader of modernism, touching upon the themes of modernity vs.
traditions, and education vs.
ignorance.
