The irony of T’Challa
T’challa is the supreme leader of the Wakandan nation. Ironically, instead of sending his army to fight the Avenges, he paCticipates in the war, leaving his sister in charge of the throne. Consequently, T’Challa is a satirical king unlike his past predecessors; he does not exhibit confidence when delegating authority to his sitter.
The satire of Shuri
The author depicts Shuri as an inexperienced lady in matters of war and leadership of the monarchy. Ironically, T’challa hands over his authority to her when he goes to fight the Avenges. Unfortunately, Shuri is killed during one of the regular attacks in the kingdom. The reader finds it satirical that the office of kingship does not have enough security to protect the supreme leader.
The irony of Zenzi
Zenzi is the woman in control of the mines, which are the source of Wakanda’s power. Additionally, Zenzi is a powerful woman because she has supernatural abilities to get whatever she wants. The reader realizes that Zenzi is behind the movement that wants to withdraw the monarch and install a government-run by the people. Ironically, Zenzi does not use her supernatural power to overthrow the monarch but prefers the participation of people and the support from the U.S. military to achieve her ambition.
The irony of leadership
Traditionally, the past kings of Wakanda did everything within their powers to foster prosperity and unity among the citizens. Ironically, T’Challa is a self-centered leader who wants to accumulate wealth for him. Similarly, he uses excess power to scare his citizens to enable him to get away with whatever he wants.
