Abstract<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nThrough the study of some poems by Dennis Brutus, this paper <\/span>analyses the different obstacles that can render freedom unattainable in view <\/span>of establishing strategies to be used to overcome them. It notes that though <\/span>torture, discrimination, imprisonment, and exile complexify the <\/span>achievement of freedom, they can be transformed into opportunities that can<\/span>
\nhasten peace. Biographical criticism, which sustains that one should pay <\/span>attention to authors and their historical context in the interpretation of their <\/span>literary works, is the theoretical approach on which this paper is premised. <\/span>The paper ends with a conclusion that torture, imprisonment, and exile are <\/span>complications that can be transformed by freedom activists as strategic <\/span>weapons to bring about freedom for a lasting social development.<\/span>
