The Deep Riverby Bessie
Head serves up a lot to explore and discuss about women and their place in
history. When the camps were divided, it was evident that each camp’s stance on
women was unquestionably different from each other. This was clearly portrayed
when senior son, Sebembele is named the new ruler, yet he announces his
father’s wife as his own. This ultimately divides a deep river into two
opposing camps.

“The
one camp said: ‘If he loves her, let him keep her. We all know Rankwana. She is
a lovely person, deserving to be the wife of a chief’ ” (Puchner, 2012, p.
1102).

“The
other camp said: / ‘He must be mad. A man who is influenced by a woman is no
ruler. He is like one who listens to the advice of a child’ ” (Puchner,
2012, p. 1102).

Given
the situation and the timing of the events, which of the two camps would you
have allied with? Do you think Sebembele did the right thing of announcing his
father’s wife as his own? Explain and support your position.
