This is not a movie review - ANIKULAPO!
This is not a movie review because I don't write them.
I am able to observe many people's realities, particularly those of women, in Arolake's life.
Let me attempt to explain myself gradually.
Arolake had the possibility to surpass her fellow spouses and even take over as the King's deputy.
She was the king's preferred woman. She was his final spouse. Compared to his other wives, the King spent the most time with her. The nicest presents were bestowed upon her by him.
She had the opportunity to exact revenge on the co-wives who mistreated and despised her, but she chose not to. She tends to isolate herself and cry a lot.
Without ever speaking to him, she had the boldness to deceive the King and the extraordinary bravery to hold a man down in the dark for the sex she craved.
This demonstrates that this woman is capable and courageous. To do! to develop! and obtain whatever she desired, but she decided to put "gbola" before her skills.
- To begin with, this woman, Arolake, snatched Saro away from the All-Powerful Awarun. She did this without giving it a second thought. She might not have even been aware of Awarum's liaison with Saro sef.
This takeover is distinct from others.
She then made her way to Saro's execution site where she saw him miraculously revived after being killed by an unknown bird. She scooped up the power of resurrection that the bird had dropped. She gave it to her husband, Saro, when she had the potential to use it and rise to become the most powerful woman in the community and the entire globe. in a fresh community.
She radiated power, commitment, and wisdom.
She gave Saro the charm out of respect, love, and loyalty. She urged him to use it to make lasting changes in their life.
- She was devastated to learn the truth about Saro's affair with her maid, but she kept quiet about it. Do you know what she did? She began remembering all the nasty things her co-wife had said to her regarding her status in the king's life.
The co-wife said,
"some of us are made to give the king children, royal sons and daughters, but you, you are only for pleasure, sexual pleasure to grace the king's bed and sexual desires".
As her reality supported what had just occurred with Saro, she recalled it and rejoiced in it.
She did not confront him. She sank into defensiveness and self-pity.
She received verbal abuse, insults, and much more from her co-wives, but she never defended herself. She instead turned to face Saro, hoping he would stand up for her. Saro slapped her, parked her belongings, and walked away, leaving her feeling defeated.
Wow! What a loss. Sad.
Here is where I start to relate it to many of us.
- She told Saro about her past and how she had never known true happiness, especially the freedom of choice, before deciding to flee with him. Since she made the decision to keep him, she is content and would stop at nothing to maintain her happiness.
This, I believe, influenced her decisions and deeds. Everything Arolake did seemed to be aimed at achieving and maintaining the happiness she had been denied since she was a youngster.
It's safe to assume that her early trauma caused her to make poor judgments and rendered her unable to recognize her potential and strength. Even against her assailants or even Saro, her husband, she was powerless to defend herself. They got away with everything because of her.
Faulty foundation and clinging to the past cause this. You'll experience a lot of insecurities and fear, and if you can't control them, they'll make you make a lot of mistakes and prevent you from reaching your full potential.
This is another factor in people continuing in violent relationships or marriages. They will be prepared to do anything and put up with anything for that one person once they locate the one who seems to provide them with emotional and mental solace.
You'll always feel unworthy in life.
Due to your exceptional goodness and softness, you will be a prime target for abusers.
Thank you for reading through.
