Written Literature in Yoruba Language delves into the exploration of prose, poetry, and drama as essential genres of literary expression in the Yoruba culture. Understanding the characteristics of each genre is crucial in appreciating the richness and diversity of Yoruba literary works.
Prose is a genre of written literature that presents narrative through the use of paragraphs and sentences. Yoruba prose often showcases intricate storytelling techniques, vivid descriptions of characters and settings, and the portrayal of societal norms and values.

Poetry is a unique form of literary expression characterized by rhythmic and lyrical language. In Yoruba poetry, the use of metaphors, symbolism, and traditional poetic devices is prominent. Through the analysis of Yoruba poems, students can delve into the cultural and historical contexts that shape the themes and styles of Yoruba poetry, gaining insights into the artistic intricacies of the genre.
Drama is a genre that brings literary works to life through performance, dialogue, and stage directions. Yoruba drama often reflects aspects of traditional Yoruba society, incorporating rituals, folklore, and societal conflicts. Studying Yoruba drama allows students to explore the dynamic interactions between characters, the thematic depth of theatrical works, and the cultural significance of dramatic performances in the Yoruba context.
As students engage with Yoruba prose, poetry, and drama, they develop critical thinking skills by analyzing and interpreting texts, recognizing recurring themes and styles, and exploring the cultural and historical contexts that shape Yoruba literary works.
