‘Even children knew of Simi! Wives knelt and prayed that their men might sin a hundred times with a hundred women, but may their erring feet never lead them to Simi of the slow eyelids. For then men lost hope of salvation, their homes and children became ghost of a past illusion, learning from Simi to a new view of life, and love immersed in a cannibal’s reality. Simi broke men, and friendship’.
It is obvious from this passage that Simi is
- famous for her love of children
- a goddess worshipped by children, women and men
- a woman other women like to befriend
-
an alluring, irresistible man-snatcher
- disliked for teaching sex-education.
