... WORLD LITERATURE ASSIGNMENT Question: How do the authors portray the role men play in So Long A Letter by Mariama Bâ and Blood Wedding by Federico García Lorca? Men are the dominant members of the family in both So Long A Letter and Blood Wedding. Mariama Bâ and Federico García Lorca use male characters to portray this so-called dominance in the Muslim-Senegalese and Rural-Spanish society. In So Long A Letter, the character of Modou Fall is very noteworthy as his character traits signify the nature of a typical Senegalese man at that time. Firstly, Modou Fall, being the husband to Ramatoulaye, commits adultery after 25 years of marriage and 12 children. It is very unbelievable because their love seemed to be strong but Modou insisted in showing his feelings for Binetou, the age-mate of his daughter. "Was it madness, weakness, irresistible love? What inner confusion led Modou Fall to marry Binetou?" This rhetorical question
