Correct Answer: C. characters and the way they behave

Explanation

Mr. James Ofosu is the central character in the play. He is a rich transport service owner who makes fortunes for it. The action of the play begins and ends in his house.

He is the source of conflict and tension in the play, though he means well by seeking prestigious professions for his children (law and engineering). He is too temperamental and does not listen to opposing views. This affects his relationship with members of his household, particularly Maanan, Aaron and Hannah. Unfortunately for him, the only one he trusts (Lawyer Bonu) betrays him where it hurts most - seducing his only daughter.

He reveals a general nature, especially in his relationship with Lawyer Bonu, his so called trusted friend, and his sister Fosuwa, but he is also capable of swift and dramatic action where he is faced with the truth or the reality of things. For example, he orders Bonu out of his house when he discovers that Bonu is unfaithful. He also allows the children to pursue their chosen careers. Perhaps it is his little education that allows Lawyer Bonu to exploit him.

To sum up, James Ofosu matures in the play into a person who is more accommodating of other views and more likely to be cautious in making friends.
