Answer Details
In Chukwuemeka Ike's novel "The Potter's Wheel," the 'pad' is a symbol of failure. The pad is a tool used by potters to support the vessel they are making while it spins on the wheel. The protagonist, Obu, is a potter who struggles to make a living from his craft. His inability to properly use the pad leads to his failure to create perfectly formed vessels, which results in financial difficulties and personal setbacks. The pad represents the support and guidance needed to succeed in life, and without it, one may face failure and disappointment.
