WEBVTT

00:00:06.407 --> 00:00:10.697
Bibi muongeaji na mhalifu anayezurura
wakizozana katika barabara chafu.

00:00:10.697 --> 00:00:14.798
Muuza Biblia anampeleka mwanafalsafa
mwenye mguu mmoja bandani.

00:00:14.798 --> 00:00:19.641
Fundi anaesafiri anamfundisha mwanamke
kiziwi neno lake la kwanza shambani.

00:00:20.231 --> 00:00:22.561
Kutoka shambani kwake vijijini Georgia,

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:22.561 --> 00:00:25.053
akizungukwa na kundi la ndege wa kufugwa,

00:00:25.053 --> 00:00:27.533
Flannery O'Connor aliandika simulizi
za waliotengwa,

00:00:27.533 --> 00:00:31.363
wavamizi na wasioleweka waliunda
dunia aliyoifahamu vizuri:

00:00:31.753 --> 00:00:33.013
Marekani Kusini.

00:00:33.513 --> 00:00:34.962
Alichapisha riwaya mbili,

00:00:35.202 --> 00:00:37.652
lakini anajulikana zaidi
kwa simulizi zake fupi,

00:00:37.852 --> 00:00:42.612
ambazo zilichunguza maisha ya mji mdogo kwa
lugha kali, na ucheshi usio wa kawaida,

00:00:42.752 --> 00:00:45.152
na mazingira ya kufurahisha yenye karaha.

00:00:45.482 --> 00:00:48.538
Kwenye muda wake wa ziada O'Connor
alichora katuni,

NOTE Paragraph

00:00:48.538 --> 00:00:51.088
na uandishi wake pia
umejaa masihara.

00:00:51.088 --> 00:00:56.088
Kwenye simulizi zake, mama na sura
"pana na ya upole kama kabichi",

00:00:56.768 --> 00:00:59.858
mwanaume ana nguvu sana kama "dekio la
sakafuni",

00:01:00.268 --> 00:01:03.217
na mwili wa mwanamke mmoja
una umbo kama "chombo cha kuzika".

00:01:04.247 --> 00:01:06.787
Majina ya wahusika wake yamejawa ujanja.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:07.147 --> 00:01:10.127
Chukulia simulizi "Maisha Unayoyaokoa
Yanaweza Kuwa ya Kwako",

00:01:10.257 --> 00:01:13.257
ambapo mtembezi mwenye mkono mmoja
Tom Shiftlet anaenda kwenye maisha

00:01:13.257 --> 00:01:15.767
ya ajuza mmoja aitwae Lucynell Crater

00:01:15.767 --> 00:01:17.737
na binti yake ambaye ni kiziwi na bubu.

00:01:17.737 --> 00:01:19.767
Japo mama Carter anajiamini,

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:19.767 --> 00:01:21.967
nyumba yake iliyojitenga inaanguka.

00:01:22.197 --> 00:01:25.107
Mwanzoni, tunaweza kushuku nia za Shiflet

00:01:25.107 --> 00:01:27.297
alipojitolea kusaidia kwenye nyumba,

00:01:27.297 --> 00:01:29.957
lakini O'Connor anaenda kuonyesha
kuwa yule ajuza ni

00:01:29.957 --> 00:01:32.547
mjanja kama mgeni wake asiotarajiwa-

00:01:32.547 --> 00:01:35.697
na kutikisa mategemeo ya msomaji
kuhusu nani ana faida zaidi.

00:01:35.857 --> 00:01:38.467
Kwa O'Connor, hamna somo lililokuwa
na kizuizi.

NOTE Paragraph

00:01:38.847 --> 00:01:40.637
Japo alikuwa ni Mkatoliki aliyejitoa,

00:01:40.637 --> 00:01:42.767
hakuogopa kufuatilia uwezekano

00:01:42.767 --> 00:01:45.007
wa mawazo mema na tabia isiyo njema,

00:01:45.007 --> 00:01:46.967
inayokuwepo kwa mtu mmoja.

00:01:47.027 --> 00:01:49.317
Kwenye riwaya yake ya Wajeuri
Wanaiondolea Mbali,

00:01:49.317 --> 00:01:52.797
mhusika mkuu anatingwa na mawazo
ya kuwa mtu wa Mungu -

00:01:52.987 --> 00:01:55.637
lakini pia anawasha moto na kuua.

00:01:55.757 --> 00:01:59.907
Kitabu kinaanza na nabii amaesita
akiwa kwenye nafasi yenye utata:

00:02:00.037 --> 00:02:04.237
"Mjomba wa Francis Marion Tarwater
alikua amekufa kwa nusu siku tu

00:02:04.287 --> 00:02:07.597
pale huyo mvulana alipolewa sana akashindwa
kumalizia kuchimba kaburi lake".

00:02:07.597 --> 00:02:11.648
Hii inamuacha mpita njia "kuvuta
mwili kutoka kwenye meza ya chai

00:02:11.668 --> 00:02:13.728
ambapo ulikuwa umekaa bado na
kuuzika [...]

00:02:13.728 --> 00:02:16.358
na udongo wa kutosha kwa juu
kuzuia mbwa kuufukua".

00:02:17.068 --> 00:02:19.108
Japokuwa siasa zake bado ni za kulumbana,

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:19.108 --> 00:02:22.518
bunilizi ya O'Connor inaweza pia
kulinganishwa na ubaguzi wa Kusini.

00:02:23.218 --> 00:02:25.768
Kwenye "Kila Kinachopanda Lazima
Kikutane",

00:02:25.788 --> 00:02:28.508
anaelezea mvulana anayechukizwa
na upendeleo wa mama yake.

00:02:28.698 --> 00:02:31.598
Lakini simulizi inaelezea kuwa
ana mapungufu yake

00:02:31.658 --> 00:02:34.048
na inasema kwamba kuyagundua mabaya tu

00:02:34.048 --> 00:02:36.598
haitetei tabia yake kutokuthibitiwa.

00:02:36.608 --> 00:02:39.857
Hata O'Connor anavyochunguza
mambo potofu ya ubinadamu,

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:39.917 --> 00:02:42.577
anaacha mlango wa ukombozi wazi kidogo.

00:02:42.817 --> 00:02:45.007
Kwenye "Mwanaume Mzuri ni Mgumu Kupata",

00:02:45.007 --> 00:02:48.897
anamkomboa ajuza anayeteseka kwa
kumsamehe mshitakiwa aliyekubuhu,

00:02:48.992 --> 00:02:51.232
hata anavyoikaribia familia yake.

NOTE Paragraph

00:02:51.762 --> 00:02:54.987
Japo tunaweza kushtushwa na malipo
anayolipa huyu mama kusamehewa,

00:02:54.987 --> 00:02:57.427
tunalazimika kukabiliana na
yanayoendelea kwenye mda

00:02:57.427 --> 00:03:00.367
tunapoweza kuzingatia kuwa
ukatili au ubaya.

00:03:00.367 --> 00:03:02.777
Uwezo wa O'Connor wa ajabu

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:02.777 --> 00:03:06.131
na tafiti zake za kujitenga na
ushirikina wa Kusini

00:03:06.391 --> 00:03:09.681
ulimpelekea kutambuliwa kama
mwandishi wa Kigothi wa Kusini.

00:03:09.681 --> 00:03:12.371
Lakini kazi yake ilisogea kupita
tabia za kijinga kabisa

00:03:12.371 --> 00:03:14.936
na za kutisha zilizohusishwa
na huo mtindo

00:03:14.936 --> 00:03:18.316
kuvumbua tofauti na mchanganyiko
wa tabia za binadamu.

00:03:18.336 --> 00:03:20.776
Alijua baadhi ya hii tofauti
ilileta karaha,

00:03:20.796 --> 00:03:23.286
na kuwa hadithi zake zingekuwa
na ladha inayohitajika -

00:03:23.286 --> 00:03:25.976
lakini alisikia raha kuwachanganya
wasomaji wake,

00:03:26.136 --> 00:03:29.136
O'Connor alikufa kwa lupus akiwa
na miaka 39,

NOTE Paragraph

00:03:29.136 --> 00:03:33.396
baada ya ugonjwa kumweka shambani mwake
Georgia kwa miaka kumi na mbili.

00:03:33.556 --> 00:03:35.036
Kwenye miaka hiyo,

00:03:35.036 --> 00:03:37.316
aliandika kazi zake nyingi
alizokuwa akiwaza.

00:03:37.416 --> 00:03:40.246
Uwezo wake wa kuhama kati ya
maudhi na uvumbuzi

00:03:40.376 --> 00:03:44.536
unaendelea kuvutia wasomaji kwenye
dunia yake ya kufikirika isiyoisha.

00:03:44.696 --> 00:03:47.176
Kama mhusika Tom Shirlet anavyosema,

00:03:47.436 --> 00:03:49.316
mwili ni "kama nyumba:

00:03:49.416 --> 00:03:50.696
haiendi popote,

00:03:50.766 --> 00:03:53.750
lakini roho, mwanamke,
ni kama gari moto:

00:03:53.880 --> 00:03:56.150
daima lipo kwenye mwendo".
