The villagers, children even, regard him as a fool and a laughing stock.
His smattering contains loosely combined verses and phrases from Western literature and the Bible. He old-style English suit, a size or two too small, and his twenty-three-inches trousers, makes him look ridiculous.
He attempts at emulating Western culture, oftentimes appear clumsy, awkward, and laughable. He is a young man of nearly 23 years old, and advocates Western culture, which he is bent on spreading throughout the village to replace its supposedly backward traditions and customs. Lakunle is the school teacher of the village of Ilujinle, who is portrayed as representing Western culture values.
