LITERATURE ANSWERS:

SUPERSTITION; The novel shows how strongly held superstitious beliefs affect society’s perception. It was believed that Maa Tsuru’s predicament was as a result of the curse placed on her at birth. Maa Tsuru herself believed this. Faceless illustrates the fact that superstitious beliefs often becloud people’s sense of judgment. In other words Superstitions are shared irrational beliefs that govern a people. Those beliefs are not verifiable by science or universal truth; the people use them to explain some occurrences. In the novel, people believe that the time of a person's birth can influence their behavior. Hence, Kabria thinks that Essie is extravagant because she is born at midnight. To nullify this jinx such children have to undergo a ritual of touching their feet three times for three days after their birth. Essie, Kabria's second child, was born at midnight night but Kabria ignores the superstition. However, as Essie begins to grow up with her unceasing demand of money, Kabria begins to think that the superstition is connected to this. Also, the people believe that people can suffer out of generational curse. In the novel, everybody believes that Maa Tsuru's misfortunes are as a result of a curse which her late mother places on her father's generation. Through Naa Yomo, we get to know that MaaTsuru's father impregnated her mother and abandons her; during labour this woman curses the man's generation and dies after giving birth to Maa Tsuru. Besides, the people superstitiously believe that when persons don't die natural death, they are rejected by both God and the devil. As they don't have money to bribe their way into God's kingdom or the devil's, their spirits continue to hover among the living. Some people express this view in the wake of Baby T's death. Also, during Onko's suicide, his senior apprentice expresses the same view. In conclusion, superstitious beliefs play significant role in the development of the plot. For instance, everybody believes that Maa Tsuru is suffering because of the generational curse which her late mother has placed on her father's generation. It is superstition that leads to Baby's tragic death. This is because Onko believes that his economic woe is as a result of his incest with a cursed child, Baby T. His attempt to appease the gods leads to Poison who beats Baby mercilessly thereby killing her.
