The Rape of Folake, the first part of the story Folake's Peril details the sexual violation of a virgin girl..depicting it's horrors in full glare with the aid of imagery, puns and twisted word plays. It is my belief that while describing something despicable with the intent of condemning it, we shouldn't whitewash the story because of morality...we have to use curse, vulgar, insulting and swear words when needed else we give the reader a wrong perception of the evil. And I do believe that a writer to a reasonable extent be separated from his litetary work, just the same way a person's conduct or misconduct should not always be connected to their parents..and as Buchi Emecheta said in Second-Class Citizen "our books are our Brain child". At most a tag or a viewer's discretion added to forewarn viewers. Hence while reading, criticize the characters in the work not me. This said, Folake can be viewed as every girl child. And don't get me wrong not only virgin girls suffer the trauma of rape..the characterization of Folake as virgin is only to heighten the feeling of compassion of the reader on Folake, hence preaching the "say no to rape" sermon faster and harder. Likewise her being raped by intoxicated and base fellows doesn't undermine the sorrows of those raped by their husbands, bosses or respected people.. The long and short is rape is rape no matter the body count of the victim or social status of the perp. DISCLAIMER: All characters in this book are fictional, any similarity with anybody is mere coincidence and not an allegory. Enjoy the book bearing in mind the lessons. God Bless!!
