I remember when I read this for my African Literature class in high school. After we had finished reading the book, discussion and analysis were the next things up the list of things to do next. And so we did that. The question which was thrown out to us for dissection by our teacher was: Are the gods to blame?

I am so glad this story was set in a period during the Yoruba Kingdom, because this is the sort of thing that I grew up with, as a Cuban, it is a part of every ethnic group's culture, one of the many things that threads us together. Aside this amazing influence, it was basically Oedipus Rex, with some slight changes. Sadly, I prefer Sophocles' writing much more than Ola Rotimi's. Although his adding of an allegory of colonization and decolonization was a nice bonus, and I did love the ending sce...more

Odewale's tragic end might have been saved if only he let go off his pride.
Odewale's tragic end might have been saved if only he let go off his pride.
I believe the problem of man is with man himself.The fact that odewale aided the people of kutuje,was not a prove of leadership mandate.The tragedy that befell kutuje people took its turn after the coronation of odewale as king by either Odewale or the people, without consulting the gods.In our days we make same conclusions when we make people who have helped us come through storms as Lord over our affairs.
The Gods are not to be blame is a story of a mans fate. king odewale who told will kil his father to marry his mother, in his attempt to run away from this to happen, ran to fulfil it. the gods are not to blame, because they have spoken and it is left for the subject to obey. if Gbonka had killed him in the bush as an infant, the curse would have been averted.

a very interesting novel, a story of a man who killed his father and married his mother, this is something which does not happen very often.

'The Gods Are Not To Blame' is Ola Rotimi's retelling of Sophocles' 'Oedipus The King' using a traditional African setting and characters. It was through this book that I first became acquainted with Oedipus' tale. What really stricks me about this book now is the title Rotimi chose.
Rotimi's tale, like that of Sophocles, is about a man's struggle to avert his fate, and unfortunately, in the process, actually helps to bring about its fulfillment. That is why 'The Gods Are Not To Blame.'

that we shld not let our temper let us into other bad things that we are going to regret later in the future because it is going to affect us very badly like Odewale's temper lead him to his grave that should not happen to any reasonable humanbeign who have consience.

This is my most favorite book in my literature class in High School.
Though it portrays the African Traditions, there is a lot to learn from irrespective of whom you are and where you come from. 'Kola nut indeed, last longer in the mouth of the one who cherish it'.

ola Rotimi's book is very inspiring.i learnt that what we say,do,watch,portray and everything else around us determines our destiny.trully the gods are not to blame for whatever happens.I believe odewale's fate would have been averted if he had stayed with his real parents.

I LEARN ONE BASIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE AFRICAN TRADITIONAL NORMS AND THAT OF THE WESTERN WORLD WHICH IS AFRICANS BELIEVE THAT ONES DESTINY IS DECIDED BY THE GODS BUT THE WESTERNERS BELIEVE YOU MAKE YOUR OWN DESTINY WHICH I BELIEVE IS TRUE.
A classical tale (play here) transposed onto African soil, as it were. An ending that really breaks one's heart. As usual with Rotimi, the dialogue is colourful, fecund, brimming with camaraderie or even enmity...a superb work.

Would have been a five if not that the ending wrenched my heart.
But beautiful, beautiful twists I didn't see coming.

My feelings are torn here for reasons of theater only. I am a teacher and have my MFA in playwriting, so I feel strongly that plays are meant to be performed. Few truly transcend to being a great 'read' on their own, and I will take some flack for that opinion but I feel that this play would shine on stage, with the costumes and music and dance that are all here in the written word. Perhaps my imagination is not strong enough to see the dimensions, or perhaps too strong. I begin thinking of how...more

The God's are not to blame was a school text book. An African retelling of Oedipus Rex. A fantastic read. This was one of the most re-read and quoted books in my girls boarding school.
Full of humour and ironies!! But personally I believe the gods are to blame. Once the prophesy was made, Human actions ensured it came to pass!
