Mugo makes the mistake of accepting and even increasing the isolation initially imposed upon him by his aunt. As a result, and out of fear, he ends up turning in a man who came to him as a friend..... of turning in a man that was subsequently killed.

Karanja falls in love with Mumbi, who does not return his love. He makes the mistake of living his life as a forlorn man. Like Mugo, he isolates himself, but not for the same reasons. In the end, he has nothing.
