Abstract
Blose, in the drama Uqomisa Mina Nje Uqomisa IIiba, seems to portray
many things, especially love at various levels among people. The idea of
love appears to be the central theme of the drama whereby the dramatist
shows how different kinds of love are intertwined.
The dramatist goes on a step further to unfold the extremes of love when
it is blocked and redirected by forces which stand against it. One
important aspect that requires a thorough investigation is how blocking
and redirection affect individuals and their relationship with the
community.
1.2 MOTIVATION OF THE STUDY
Blose in his drama Uqomisa Mina Nje Ugomisa IIiba depicts various kinds
of love. Among them, there is patriotic love, parental love and love as
shown by the behaviour of young people. These kinds of love are
somehow intertwined. The analysis will, among other things, investigate
the influence of one on another.
