dc.description.abstract	The purpose of this study is to look into Oedipal structures in the novels of Sibusiso Nyembezi. The notion of an Oedipal structure is derived from Sophocles' play entitled 'Oedipus the King'. In this play, Oedipus, a forsaken child, learns that he is a son of a Theban King. On the way to Thebes, he encounters and assassinates his father. Oedi pus earns himself a title of a king after solving the riddle of the sphinx and marries his own mother. The mother-father-son triangles ('trilogies') are structures which are a common feature of literature. Our purpose is to investigate to what extent the author in question has explored family relationships in his works.	en
