Abstract
This long essay looks into the themes of exploitation and the pursuit of hope within the context of Tanure Ojaide's poetry collection, "The Questioner: And Other Poems." Applying a Marxist theoretical framework, it critically analyzes the multifaceted forms of exploitation depicted in Ojaide's work, such as economic, social, and political exploitation. The essay explores how these forms of exploitation affect individuals and communities, leading to the erosion of hope. It further examines how Ojaide's poetry provides a platform for raising awareness about these issues and suggests potential avenues for resistance and the restoration of hope. By engaging with the intersections of literature, Marxist theory, and socio-political critique, this essay offers a comprehensive understanding of the thematic elements in Ojaide's poetry and their broader implications for society.
