Explanation

Mando land is portrayed as a simple community of peace-loving people. The play reveals much about the people's culture. This culture is one that is undergoing change and faces severe challenges from outside. With the arrival in the midst of the people of the white man, the peace and tranquility of the community is seriously threatened. It is seen in the play that the people of Mando land respect their ancestral beliefs. They are very much alive to the threat posed by the coming into their midst of a stranger. Kindo embraces this firmly and he is proved right. The consequences of permitting Whitehead entry into Mando land show that the people's fear of the threat is not mere superstition. Wara holds the priesthood in genuine childlike awe. She does not succumb to Kindo's pressure to desecrate the shrine lest the spirits are offended.

Maligu exploits the cultural belief to enrich himself. He, too, warns that it is dangerous to incur the displeasure of the spirits —but for his own ends. In Maligu's admonition of Kindo not to challenge the virgin sacrifice, he finds a collaborator in King Santigi Mando V, who is ill-advised and obviously under the influence of gin and the strange tobacco. He, therefore, fails to listen to the alternative reasoning that Kindo presents.

The people of Mando land are ordinarily hard-working and morally decent. With the coming of the white man, however, they neglect work, are idle and become debauched. Kindo is angry that the men are "singing, dancing and drinking" and the women are giving themselves to men everywhere ... running about naked like children". The culture of hard work and moral decency is thus undermined. We also learn that the people have great respect for human life, Despite his agitation for the virgin sacrifice, Soko has actually never even carried out such a sacrifice.

The people's regard for human life is such that anyone who kills another in peace time must be banished. This is carried out to the extreme with the banishment of Kindo. It is greatly ironical that Whitehead should suggest the killing of a goat, for the killing of a virgin is not within the experience of Soko, the Chief Priest, as Soko confesses to Wara.

Tagged on to the regard for human life is the culture of severe punishment for a serious crime. Santigi's verdict that his only son must be banished is very firm, and he is passionate about it. Beside, sending Kindo away from the land, Santigi disowns his warrior son and heir apparent. Mando land, above all, is a male-dominated society. Women are not seen much of. Soko's major worry is that the position of Chief Priest will leave his line when he passes away, since women have no place in the priesthood.

Points to note:

(1) Belief in ancestral wisdom.

(2) Hard work and moral decency of the people.

(3) Sanctity of human life/severe punishment for bloodshed in the land.

(4) Male domination in the society

Explanation

"The Pulley" is a poem about God's love for mankind and His concern that man is never separated from Him. According to Herbert's narrative, which is interspersed with God's own direct speech, God, at the beginning of creation, blessed man with the "world's riches" poured from his "glass of blessings". These are named in the second stanza as "strength", "beautie", "wisdome", "honour", "pleasure", in that order, except one, "rest" which lay in the bottom of his glass. This visual image of "a glass of blessings" demonstrates God's benevolence. The meaning of the poem is basically anchored on the word "rest" whose several meanings constitute the literary device called "pun", loosely defined as "a play on words". Indeed the first pun on "rest" gives it the meaning of contentment. From God's own perspective, if He should bestow 'rest' on His creature, man, the latter's contentment alone will separate him from God and he will "rest in nature, not the God of nature", and thus "adore my gifts instead of me". Here a related meaning of 'rest' is being played on, which is "abide in", alongside being "content with".

The second pun on "rest" invests the word with the meaning "other(s)" referring to the "worldly riches" God has already bestowed on man. By withholding the gift of "rest" God, nevertheless intends that man should enjoy "the rest" — His other gifts, yet 'rest' withheld generates restlessness in man, its exact opposite. This time, the pun on "rest" includes its opposite — restlessness. The latter is reinforced by God's choice of modifier, — "repining" to produce "repining restlessness".

The implication or suggestion is that God goes to great length to draw man back to Himself (as a pulley does) by creating in the latter an ennui that is never satisfied. This is the result of the "rest" that God withholds from man among the rest of the gifts bestowed. God's arrangement then ensures that if man's inclination to do good does not bring him close enough to God, "weariness" induced by "repining restlessness" will "toss him to my breast". It can be concluded then that pun plays a crucial role in unravelling the meaning of the poem.

Points to note:

(1) The interpretation of pun and its relevance to the theme.

(2) Pun on 'rest' as contentment.

(3) Pun on 'rest' as remainder/other.

(4) Relationship of 'rest' to the thematic concerns of the poem.
