| Abstract: | Women are often the victims of dual personality which various writers, in their works often down play. Dual personality is when someone has two contrasting personality in them. This is
the issue examined in this study from the standpoint of Yejide Kilanko’s Daughters Who Walk This Path and Yvonne Vera’s Opening Spaces which opines that dual personality which affectsbehaviour can really affect the human psyche as seen in the case of Morayo, Morenike, Mrs Ncube and her fellow women lives. Until they learn to stand up to the bullying antics of their partner and people around them, will they be able to break out of this. Clearly, the domination ofwomen is the most fundamental form of Dual personality in the African society. Dual personality
can therefore be said to be a regular feature in many African homes, a situation which is portrayed by Kilanko and Vera in their novel: Daughters Who Walk This Path and Opening Spaces respectively, as they advocate change in the attitude of society to this. |
| Description: | The term dualism has a variety of uses. In general, the idea is that, there are two fundamental
kinds or categories of things or principle. In theology, for example a dualist is someone who
believes that good and evil or God and Devil are independent and more or less equal forces in the
world. In literature, dualism was first known through gothic or monster literature which was used
to chastise morality. It is also known as gothic double which refers to dualism within a character,
mostly the protagonist. |
