Ngugi Wa Thiongo's Wizard of the crow provides a stunning portrayal of the feminine quest. It presents the woman as a very powerful and extremely determined person. Judging from my reading of this text, the woman is the pivot of the book. If she is taken out, then the book …more will be a sham. The woman provokes every action that arises in the novel and better still, even our protagonist has as his catalyst Nyawira. Kamiti's destiny comes to fulfillment, only when he is around Nyawira. when Kamiti again is inflicted by the"IF" syndrome, only the "limping witch" can take him out of this condition. furthermore, looking at the ruler, he realizes that the woman is not someone to join forces against. Eunice who was his biggest stumbling block had to join him through every means. That notwithstanding, the ruler keeps Racheal very far away from him when she starts questioning his involvement with school girls. the ruler knows very well that, hell has no fury than a woman's scorn. this, can further be justified when the ruler stays out of the country for so long, not caring about his citizens. He receives all sort of messages back home however, this did not propel him. he continued in his stay. the only thing that impel him to forgo this journey was ; women have started beating their husbands. this statement did not just frightened him, it scared him because he has recognized the strength of the woman.this forces him to leave America that very moment for home even in his critical condition.

LOVE, is the only antidote to this condition. The fury of a woman can only be neutralized by genuine love. To elaborate on this , one has to look at Tarjirika , who after he is threatened by the women for beating his wife, goes home and cries to the creation of the fountain of arrested motions. This place was like a cursed land that arrested any living thing that comes into contact with it. This curse however is broken by the genuine love that Mariko and Maritha share. Wizard of the Crow is just propagating that, men and women in society must work together as one. for a society to be in balance, these two have to work in harmony and not relegating one to the background like tarjirika did. His success only comes to fulfillment when he starts combining force with his wife which helps him to be the new ruler. (less)
