This question is based on Wole Soyinka's The Lion and the Jewel.
Lakunle:... To fetch and carry
To cook and scrub
To bring forth children by the gross
Sidi: Heaven forgive you! Do you now scorn child bearing in a wife?
What would Lakunle rather prefer to accomplish before child bearing ?
Lakunle would prefer to have a church wedding before childbearing. This can be seen in his response to Sidi later on. He quotes a passage from the Bible:
"And the man shall take the woman
And the two shall be together
As one flesh"
This implies that he would rather prefer to have a church wedding before childbearing begins.
