The Spider's Web

Change is like a spiders web. One changing event continues to grow like a spiders web. Ngotho notices how people who were once brave and heroic have lost their integrity and their respect for one another. Maybe the spider's web symbolizes a trap of hatred and greed. All of the people around Ngotho seem to be trapped in this web and have forgotten to be kind and stand up for what is righteous. For example, the "queen", Mrs. Njogu used to stand up for what she believed was right, she wasnt greedy, and she was a role model to a lot of people. Now she is consumed with greed and the need for power. Ngotho's dislike for the change in people leads him to become trapped in the web of hatred and disrespect like everyone else and it ultimatly consumes him.
