The paper shows that as the first wife, Sassouma naturally feels more superior than Sogolon. In a culture where polygamy is a natural practice, being the first wife of the king is something to be proud of. It means that you are honored and respected because of your rank as the first. and those who follow next – second, third, fourth wife, etc. – need to pay the same respect and learn to accept that they can be no greater than the first wife. No greater than Sassouma. Sogolon, being the second wife, should know her place in the palace. She should look up to the first wife, which is exactly what she did.

Sassouma and Sogolon showed two very distinct characteristics, which can be simply described as good and evil. It is in this epic that a woman can be seen as a formidable force that can shape the fate of a man and define his being – by being mothers. Children were always left to the care of the mother during this time. As women were seen to take care of the home, provide sauce needed for the standard meal, they are also responsible for raising the child. In ordinary families, women’s role is also defined by what their family does for a living. If for example, the woman belongs to a family which does farming, aside from taking care of the children and preparing&nbsp.the sauce for the family’s meals, women are also expected to be responsible for taking care of the livestock. For women belonging to the royal families, the woman also has “a diplomatic role” primarily that of engaging in marriage with leaders. Having been born into a society where men can engage into several marriages with different women, it is possible that a child could have more than 5 half brothers and half-sisters, and however many children a woman has, all of them would be under her care, aside from her other responsibilities as a wife in the family and the society she lives in. With this much-defined role, a mother has all the power to mold the child into someone she&nbsp.wanted him to be.&nbsp.&nbsp.
