In "A Meeting in the Dark," the motif of the lion-demon most likely represents

Question

A. Being trapped between two worlds
B. self-hate
C. the foolishness of old age
D. Christian values

I am super confused about this!! I am going between A and D because the whole theme of this story is of John being trapped between two things, but i don't know if the "lion-demon motif" represents that. It might be that the lion-demon represents the Christian values that would swallow John up if he marries Wamuhu and what he has done comes out. I really need help on this! PLEASE!

Answer 1

I really have no idea......has anyone read this story and can you tell me your opinion???

Answer 2

I have read this, but A makes the most sense to me. It's hard to see how a lion or demon could represent Christianity.

Answer 3

Ok thank you so much! I was leaning toward A as well. :)

Answer 4

You're very welcome.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Answer 7

Answer 8

Oof this was confusing because of the clashing opinions, but yes A: Being trapped between two worlds is correct!
