In The Marriage of Anansewa by Efua Sutherland, Ananse is the central character known for his cunning and manipulative behaviour. In the passage, Speaker A excitedly says, “Delicious news… Sweet news Mr. Honourable… Did he specify the day?” and even calls for drinks to celebrate. This tone of excitement and calculation fits Ananse’s character, especially when he is scheming about his daughter’s marriage arrangements for financial gain.
The reference to “Mr Honourable” also suggests he is speaking to a messenger or intermediary bringing him information — something Ananse frequently does in the play.
