Maelezo ya Majibu
The heavy downpour on the night of Meka's investiture in Ferdinand Oyono's "The Old Man and the Medal" symbolizes mockery. The rain, which is a natural phenomenon, disrupts the ceremony and makes it difficult for the attendees to enjoy the event. This can be interpreted as a metaphor for how Meka's ambition to receive a medal from the colonial government is ultimately futile, as the colonial powers do not truly value or respect him. The rain also symbolizes the overwhelming power and influence of nature compared to man's limited abilities and influence.
