Petals Of Blood By Ngugi Wa Thiong’o: Plot Summary

This made it difficult to connect the events and also caused the psychological backgrounds of characters to move from one to another. The reader should be more focused on the next story to uncover the truth behind the crime. The novel’s author shows one moment when the four main characters are together. It is filled with joy, satisfaction, and they dance and celebrate traditional Kenyan culture. Munira Abdullah Wanga and Kreega are filled with joy and belonging to Kenyan culture and a deep understanding of its roots.

The final section shows us that Munira, a religious person in a state that is confused and angry because of the suspicious relations between Luanga and Cariga and the illegal and moral behaviour of Cariga, believed that Wanga would not be safe from its evil magic. Therefore, this sense that Munira had to take responsibility for Wanja being deported and rescued Kariga from Wanja was immoral.
