Why does sidi go to Barokas hut in "The lion and the jewel ??
Sidi goes to Baroka's hut because he has been spreading rumors about her having a relationship with Lakunle, which she denies. She wants to confront Baroka and demand that he stops spreading these rumors. In addition, Sidi is also attracted to Baroka's power and status as the village chief, which she hopes to benefit from.
In the play "The Lion and the Jewel" by Wole Soyinka, Sidi goes to Baroka's hut for several reasons:
1. To fetch water: Sidi initially goes to Baroka's hut to fetch water from the village stream, which is located near his hut.
2. To deliver a message: While at Baroka's hut, Sidi delivers a message to Baroka from the schoolteacher, Lakunle. The message is about Lakunle's proposal to marry Sidi.
3. To confront Baroka: Sidi also goes to Baroka's hut to confront him and express her rejection of his advances. She wants to make it clear to Baroka that she is not interested in becoming his wife and prefers the modern ideas of Lakunle.
4. To negotiate a marriage: Sidi enters into a negotiation with Baroka regarding their potential marriage. Baroka, who is the Bale (leader) of the village, wants to take Sidi as his new wife, partly to prove his continued virility despite his old age. Sidi, on the other hand, wants to use this opportunity to gain more power and influence in the village.
These reasons ultimately lead Sidi to visit Baroka's hut, where various conflicts and interactions between the characters take place.
