Ocol rejects the old type.
He is in love with a modern woman
He is in love with a beautiful girl
Who speaks English.'
Okot p'Bitek, 'Song of Lawino'
The writer of the lines above
In Song of Lawino by Okot p'Bitek, the speaker (Lawino) criticises and mocks Ocol, her husband, for abandoning his traditional roots and his wife (the "old type") in favour of a modern, Westernised woman who speaks English. The tone is satirical and disapproving of Ocol's preference, portraying it as a misguided value judgment.
