What are the themes of ti-jean and his brothers?

The themes of Ti-jean and his brothers are poverty, identity, determination, hubris, good vs evil, folklore, hamartia, fear of the supernatural, courage and colonialism. Good vs Evil - The play Ti-jean and his brothers is an enactment of good versus evil whereas through the events, we are reminded of the everyday story that we all encounter challenges from the devil. Three brothers each experienced a fate from the devil. Each brother is significant to the varied faces that make up the Caribbean and also, through the presentation of each, we learn how different persons battle challenges life throws at them. The brothers therefore signify the good in the play whilst the planter/old man and Papa Bois signify the devil. The first occurrence of good versus evil is seen when Gros-jean leaves home to fulfill his quest of becoming a man. He eventually has an encounter with the devil disguised as an old man, then as a planter. Before leaving his mother's nest, Gros-jean is encouraged by his mother to seek advice from the forest creatures - things that are pure and of god; however, Gros-jean, have a strange detest for the creatures, disobeys his mother's comment that the devil comes in different forms. Gros-jean fails to conquer the devil by being obedient to the devil, completed all tasks given to him as well as doing as he is encouraged to do by the old man. In this example good does not prevail as a result of Gros-jean ignorance and stubbornness. Likewise, the second brother Mi-jean, whose quest is to become a sea captain and lawyer meets his fate with the devil. He is the smartest of the three brothers as he is always reading books. Similar to Gros-jean, Mi-jean is advised by his mother. Mi-jean, being the smart one, decides he will use his intellect to outsmart the devil by speaking little or none at all. However, his wisdom did not prove to do much for him this time, around as he too gets eaten by the devil. Two good brothers defeated by the devil; this is achieved because they failed to seek advice from the things that are pure and of hod but instead seek advice from the creator of everything sinister, the devil. Unlike his older brothers, Ti-jean is the successor. He is the epitome of good conquering evil Ti-jean goes on his quest and is advised by his mother to seek guidance from the forest creatures and be aware of the devil who appears in different forms. Ti-jean is not as strong as Gros-jean nor is he as smart as Mi-jean; however, he has common sense.
