D. Seeks peace

Correct Answer:

Option B – Hurt their husbands

Explanation

There are only three characters in this drama, making the story easy to follow from the outset. It clearly dramatizes the injustice the women suffer at the hands of their men. Unlike in traditional times, when the fairer sex had to swallow whatever males gave them, the wives (and even the mothers of the men) of the Erhuwaren don’t take ‘no’ for an answer. They know how to fight for their rights. Okoro represents the deepest kinds of misogyny: when men don’t help their women to do the chores, don’t give their wives enough money for food and yet complain the soup isn’t tasty. Or those who beat up their partners in a drunken state and cap it all by accusing them of crimes they haven’t committed (Chinelo Oputa). In their flight the women settle at iyara in order hurt their husbands
