PILKINGS: Your son does not take so gloomy a view.
ELESIN: Are you dreaming now, white man? Were you not present at the reunion of shame? Did you not see when the world reversed itself and the father fell before his son, asking forgiveness? (5.22)
See? We told you Simon never really got it. Case in point: He and Elesin have wildly different perspectives on Elesin's reunion with his son after the suicide ritual didn't go off; Olunde was clearly unhappy with his father, but Simon doesn't seem to want to admit that.
