THE ARTISTIC VISION OF MORALITY IN DJOLETO’SMONEY GALORE

Abstract

The issue of morality has not only engaged the attention of the clergy, psychologists and other social scientists but has also come to be accepted as part of the issues artists deal with. The latter, in artistically recreating the realities of morality (or immorality), assume the role of teachers marching right in front of society with the task of re-educating and regenerating society (Achebe, 1975:15). How Djoleto, in Money Galore, (1975) portrays his stance in dealing with some issues connected with morality, and his artistic vision for society are the central concerns of this paper.
