The lion and the jewel, the playwright tries to give the title,"the jewel to two characters in the play.who finally wins the title?why does the character deserve the title.

I might consider Baroka as the Lion. The wily and powerful Bale (i.e. leader) of the village, Baroka is always on the quest for more wives. He laments getting older and covets the young Sidi. He tricks Sidi and Sadiku, though, and ends up winning Sidi and avenging his shame after she initially refused to marry him.
