Telephone conversation by Wole Soyinka

Telephone conversation by Wole Soyinka

%....... Introduction of poet

Wole Soyinka is a Nigerian playwright, poet, author, teacher and political activist who received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1986.


Early Life

Wole Soyinka was born Akinwande Oluwole "Wole" Babatunde Soyinka on July 13, 1934, in Abeokuta, near Ibadan in western Nigeria. His father, Samuel Ayodele Soyinka, was a prominent Anglican minister and headmaster. His mother, Grace Eniola Soyinka, who was called "Wild Christian," was a shopkeeper and local activist. As a child, he lived in an Anglican mission compound, learning the Christian teachings of his parents, as well as the Yoruba spiritualism and tribal customs of his grandfather. A precocious and inquisitive child, Wole prompted the adults in his life to warn one another: “He will kill you with his questions.”

After finishing preparatory university studies in 1954 at Government College in Ibadan, Soyinka moved to England and continued his education at the University of Leeds, where he served as the editor of the school's magazine, The Eagle. He graduated with a bachelor's degree in English literature in 1958. (In 1972 the university awarded him an honorary doctorate).
Wole Soyinka’s “Telephone Conversation” is an eloquent exchange of dialogue between a dark West African man and his British landlady that inexorably verges on the question of apartheid. The poet makes use of the most articulate means to air his views, through that of a telephone conversation, where there is instant and natural give-and-take. It exhibits a one-to-one correspondence between the two. The interaction between a coloured and a white individual at once assumes universal overtones.
At the outset, the poet says that the price seemed reasonable and the location ‘indifferent’. Note that as a word, even though the word “indifferent” denotes being ‘unbiased’, it is a word with negative connotations. However, as we come across the Landlady’s biased nature; the word ‘indifferent’ gains positive overtones, as it is better than being impartial. The lady swears that she lived ‘off premises’. Nevertheless, the very aspect of his colour poses a problem to her, far from her promise to remain aloof. Nothing remains for the poet, he says, but confession. It gives a picture of him sitting in a confessional, when he hasn’t committed any crime….his crime is his colour, his remorse is solutionless. He tells the lady that he hates a wasted journey. Perhaps his words connote more than he literally signifies. The poet seems to be tired of his life conditioned by racist prejudices. As he mentions that he is a West African, the lady is crammed with silence, but a silence that speaks volumes. A telephone is an instrument that primarily transmits voices, here it becomes a medium for silence also. The so-called civilized world, has these silent powerful issues that need to be voiced. Here, the silence echoes. It is a silence that is the consequence of her sophisticated upbringing. However, her prejudices transcend her to primitivism, living in the superstitious narrow-mindedness of caste and colour.
When the voice finally came, it was ‘lip-stick coated’,well made-up and diplomatic to suit an affected atmosphere. The inevitable question finally comes cross:” ARE YOU DARK? OR VERY LIGHT?”The poet views it as button B or Button A. The question places two alternatives before him: dark or light; The truth or lies. The first option would obviously shut off all doors to him. The term Button B also is the button in the public telephone box to get the money back. Button A is the one to connect the call. The poet first ponders on Button B to get out of his predicament. He then realizes that escapism is not the solution, and decides to face the situation. The words: “Stench /Of rancid breath of public hide-and-speak” signify the claustrophobic nature of the questions rather than the atmosphere.
The colour ‘red’ in “Red booth. Red pillar box. Red double-tiered” forebode caution. The questions were too naked to be true. The speaker at last brings himself to believe them. His response is very witty: “You mean–like plain or milk chocolate?” This is the most apt response as dark chocolate is certainly more tempting than plain chocolate. Her disinterested approval of the question was like that of a clinical doctor made immune to human emotions through experience. Human pain and misery its own saturation point; after a certain point people tend to joke at their own agony. As the saying goes: Be a God, and laugh at Yourself. The speaker therefore begins enjoying the situation and confuses the lady on the other side. He asserts: “West African sepia”, to further confuse her.
Silence for spectroscopic
Flight of fancy, till truthfulness clanged her accent
Hard on the mouthpiece. “WHAT’S THAT?” conceding
“DON’T KNOW WHAT THAT IS.” “Like brunette.”
“THAT’S DARK, ISN’T IT?” “Not altogether.
Facially, I am brunette, but, madam, you should see
The rest of me. Palm of my hand, soles of my feet
Are a peroxide blond. Friction, caused–
Foolishly, madam–by sitting down, has turned
My bottom raven black–One moment, madam!”–sensing
Her receiver rearing on the thunderclap
About my ears–“Madam,” I pleaded, “wouldn’t you rather
See for yourself?”
The last lines verge on vulgarity, but simply out of outrage. The mixed feelings, the random and broken sentences, the lack of coherence of speech, the question-answer mode are all typical of a telephone conversation that reverberates more than it sounds.
%.....critical overview of the poem ''Telephone Conversation'' by Wole Soyinka?
This poem is written by ‘Wole Soyinka’. Poet deals with racism and relation of black and white people. Talk about first world country and third world country. A black man wont to perchance home (land) from white lady. There is telephonic conversation between them. Telephone is symbol of connecting people, it is tool of communication.  But here in poem it shows distance between two people and nation also. Lady represents first world country and black man represent third world country (nation). Here we found Frantz Fanon’s concept of “Black skin and white Mask”. In this poem both are rich, necklace shows richness of lady and black man want to buy home so it shows richness of black man. But lady over power man because she represent or belongs to ‘first world nation’.  Lady is colonizer and man is colonized. Location place (home) white colony and for Negro man it is kind of achievement. In this poem we found that lady asked several question, like ‘where are you from? How dark? Are you light or very Dark? After this there is a deep silent. Silent suggest so many things. Silent is ill manner silent. Here we have one question that who is really dark? Black man gives self-confection, ‘I am African’ and many other things. Word use by man “Madam” is shows man gives respect to white lady. I’m not fully dark, don’t go with my color, and in this poem we found that man give his identity to that lady. But lady not give her identity. At the end of the poem there is one line, “About my ears-‘Madam,’ I pleaded, wouldn’t you rather See yourself?” it shows that what men think and mentality of white lady. When we look at this poem with post-colonial perspective, how white people feel superior and black people are inferior. What white people think about black people? That they are always bad and cruel, black people are barbaric, uncultured and uncivilized people.
%.......Theme and tone in 'Telephone Conversation' by Wole Soyinka
Telephone Conversation was a poem concerning the racial discrimination between the Caucasian and African. In the poem, the poet wanted to rent a house from the landlady originally. However, after he stated that he was African, the conversation turned to discuss the poet's skin color swiftly and it lasted till the end of the conversation.. Repetition was used to emphasize on the issue of racial discrimination. 'Dark' was repeated to show how much did the landlady care about the poet's color, because 'dark' usually connects with the dark skin color of African. The landlady was obviously discriminating other races. It could also be shown from the question she repeated asking, 'are you light or very dark?'After the poet told the landlady that he was African, the landlady's tone changed at once. Alliteration like 'clinical, crushing' was used to emphasize the coldness in the landlady's tone when she knew the man was African.
Metaphor liked 'spectroscopic' was used to compare the landlady's mind with equipment which was used to judge a color. The significance of using this metaphor was to show the landlady was eager to find out what color the poet was.
Throughout the whole poem, the poet used different techniques to show how Caucasian discriminated the dark. He criticized it was not appropriate to judge a person with his skin color. Instead, they should know each other through direct contact and interaction, 'madam, you should see the rest of me. Palm of my hand, soles of my feet are a peroxide blond.'To conclude, the poet brought out the message that there shouldn't have racial discrimination existed.
Tone in 'Telephone Conversation' by Wole SovinkaThe poet conveyed his feelings on racism through a telephone conversation with a landlady. The tone of the poem was satirical and playful.
%....... Conclusion
 This all African poems reflect African culture and what African people think about colonizer people. We found that how British people go there and started ruling over them, enslaved them, make them slave. What are the views of African people on the so called civilization? Generally we found that cultural conflict is one of the most prominent points in African poem or literature. Through this poems we found that all poet tryst to discusses one problem, problem of his ancient heritage because of the attack of western culture.

Harisndranath's plays on the live of the saints are less dramatically effective than his plays of social protest Numerous are the God intoxicated enchiladas whose lives move the hearts of millions in India. In a play like pundit there is a conversion among the sisters Ganga, yamuna and saaswati sake bai, mire bait, jayaleva, Choke mule, Eknath, Tlukaram, Raidas, Kannada, all prefers to rely on the " grass of glance" They also presents the live of the saints and the conflict between human " Power" and divine grace.

His Siddhartha: Man of peace (1956) is a good because his play presents crisis in civilization. They the main events in " Buddha's" life are presented dramctical in prose sconce. The chorus speak from time to time. The main story of prince Siddhartha's deals with age, sickness and death which is followed by his Renunciation and the search for enlistment, prince Siddhartha leaves his wife and son and he becomes Gautama Buddha. There is a truckling scene when he returns to his native city of kapilvastu and meets his wife shareholder and son Bahlu.

The Burden deals with the theme with bhase dramatized in his statue play. In the story Bhardta returning from his grandfather place to ayatollah and comes to know the terrible truth Darth, his father is derd Kaliasam has shown in the play that he can make prose a fit viehiclefor the expression of tragic emotion, fulfillment is a longer play which deals with the story of Ekalavya.

Kailasam's another play " karna" . The Brahmin's curse was published in 1946 were the denting play very vital role in the life of character. It is written in a mixture of prose and verse. The story is taken from the Mahabharata.

G.V.Desani's 'Hali' is a different kind of play it was published in 1950 and received the praise for it's originality and the symbolism . The play is having richness , and imagery. A short poetic play Hali is an attempt to present the story of " Passion" . In other words Hali's confrontation has the power of creation and distraction. The characters in the passion plays are Aisha the lord rah, the mother mire, the foster mother and friend Maya, that have been away root, the magician and the narrator of course symbolic which takes is mere symbolic which takes place in the theatre of Hali's soul; he loves his mother Mira he tended by Maya and he loss her. Ten days later Hali's Passion being
. All the issuse of life and death love and hate, reality and illusion. He is tempted and terse he is pampered and punished. In his predicament neither Ia ha nor Mira can halo him. The magician try to invoke the past but he can not annual it Hali's character is affected by beauty and holiness and peace of love but raga"taunts' and threatens. The story moves farther full of lust and violence where and the love becomes all one and this kind of woman it is difficult and possible to find such-love and one has to die to get this love root is death and Hali is death but the love is not dead and death. The main purpose of the story is the tragic parishioner of India it is dedicated to the mother India.

His best and special play is consider to be " The Doldrummers" The story of the play is of young man and woman in the Doldrums are court in sad and funny situation at Zuha Beach rita and lize , Joe and Tony are the four the doldrummers.... This play is also about love and sex, poetry and futility and pathos as which also suggest that anything strange and sinister can be happen in this world.

The Dumb Dancer is powerful study of Kathkali, dancer to identity himself with the character of Brahma, premise the mental asylum super in ten-dent who begins to take in him . In this dancer the play is indeed an eerie study of abnormal psychology.

Om is anther kind of play which is also culled psychological one it gives the historic attitudes in India and of the quest of the "self" young man are the there prototypical figures to imtrtchange their roles. In the three play transmigration and rebirth are implied to continued the quest the play also discovers the fact that self deception is stronger than the pursuit of the self as a ultimate truth.

'The tourist mecca' makes captical out of the back ground of the ray' The clock' has almost a touch of Ionesco . The captives with it's background of the chines invasion and the tension in the mind of a Muslim who he is caught between two worlds.

La khan Deb's ' Tiger Claw" is a three act play in verse the story is about controversial killing of afzalkhan by shiv-ail. The Shiva Afzalkhan theme has elements of pure drama where la-khan Deb has portrayed Shiva as heroic figure.
