Title

Mustafa Sa’eed, A Psychopath or A Victim of his Circumstances; in the novel Mawsim al-Hijra ila al-Shamal (1967), or Season of Migration to the North by Tayeb Salih

Abstract

This research paper is an in-depth study of the character of Mustafa Sa’eed, the protagonist of Tayeb Salih’s Seasons of Immigration to North. Mustafa is a dubious character who has been portrayed as a constantly changing character in the novel. At first he is a fatherless poor child, then he becomes an intelligent promising young schoolboy, after that suffers from Oedipus complex when he develops weird sensual attraction towards his mentor's wife a British elderly lady who loves him like a mother, later evolving as a psychopath lover entrapping young British ladies who get enmeshed by emotional relationship and commit suicide after being abandoned by him. Eventually he turns out to be a murderer of his European wife Jean Morris, and finally transforms into a responsible farmer, an enigma in narrator’s village Wad Hamid. The aim of this paper is to understand whether the character of Mustafa Sa’eed should be considered as a psychopath or a man full of hatred towards Colonialism, which makes him take revenge from European women. In order to reach to the conclusion, the researcher did in-depth study of the negative impact of the colonialism on the native Africans and compared it with the political and social situation of Sudan depicted in the novel Seasons of Immigration to North by Tayeb Salih. The egoistic and sadistic behavior of the protagonist Mustafa Sa’eed towards British women has been analyzed in the wake of his loveless childhood due to his widow mother’s agony. The researcher has linked the British women with the motherland of Sudan and tried to establish the fact that Mustafa is not a psychopath rather a snake born out of the vices of Colonial rule.

Key Words
