Answer:
Death and the King's Horseman isn't just about a clash of cultures—it's also about a clash of religions. Yoruba spirituality and Elesin's attempts to confront mortality and the afterlife are very much at the heart of the story, and Soyinka himself sees the spiritual dilemmas that the play presents as the key thing going on. The play definitely prompts us to think about different religions and customs and how they intersect and clash, dropping references to Islam and Christianity as well as lots of discussion of Yorubam religious practices.
Explanation:
By showing the richness of Yoruba traditions while simultaneously failing to show the British characters actively engaged in any kind of religion, Soyinka suggests the emptiness of British customs and religion.
1. The narrator's nine-year-old daughter, knowing that her father writes war stories, asks him if he has ever killed anyone. The narrator says no but resolves to tell her the truth when she is grown (so yes she might ask the same question when she is older.)
2. because he wants his writing to be heard.
3. because it was his thing to kill anyone he saw, so his body reacted way before he has time to think whether or not he should kill or not. I probably would’ve done the same.

1. I read the whole essay and the only allusion that she uses is Xanadu. Joan Didion writes, nobody lives at Xanadu meaning nobody lives in the paradise.
Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not tell in detail the thing, idea, place or person.
Xanadu is a mitical place. It is located in the north of Shangri La that was introduced in 1933 in the fictional novel Lost Horizon by author James Hilton
2.- The symbol that Joan Didion uses is that nobody lives at Xanadu that it is paradise on earth for her because New York was appealing to the author even though she was not well paid and didn't have the best food on the table.
