Harkness Questions: The Collector of Treasures

1) Does anyone think that one reason why Dikeledi doesn't feel guilf after killing her husband, is because she grew up fatherless and thinks that she turned out well despite this.  Thus, she believes that her children are strong enough to grow up like this and not have it really effect them.

2) Besides for her freedom, what does Dikeledi sacrifice for her children? 

3) The story is titled The Collector of Treasures, what does Dikeldi consider treasures?

4) What could be a possible reason why Bessie Head decides to exclude Dikeledi's name in the first few pages when she is introduced as a murderer?

5) Do we think that it was Dikeldi's plan to kill Garesego and have her children cared for by Paul Thebolo and his family?
