1)pokuwaa's is a woman who is anguished over her childinessness.she was made mockering of by her neighbours who fortunately did not suffer the same fate.this lack of childlessness made her unhappy woman among her peers.to be barren is seen in the community as the worst that could happen to anyone.she was worried,unlike koroma,because without a child of her own ,her old age was bound to be lonely. 1 continues the realisation of no child or grandchild to warm her compound really gave her sleepless night. Karomas' marital experiences were the opposite of Pokuwaa's. Many a time she is humiliated by those who have children unlike Korama who marital experiences were soth sailing.
