This is what is found in many modern African novels which contain an important linguistic and historical document in which the writer's status as custodian of the language and new in its patterns is notable. Therefore, chapter three deals with the discussion and analysis of the controversial novel Petals of Blood, written by East Africa's most celebrated writer, imprisoned for his outspoken views Ngugi Wa Thiong'O in 1977, who was previously known as James Thiong 'O Ngugi and when he knew that this name was only a dependency of the colonizer who plundered Africa and plundered its riches, he changed it to Ngugi Wa Thiong'O, a pure African name, as well as willingly changing the language of his writings creatives from English to a local Kenyan language "Gikuyu" such as Caitaani Mutharaba- ini (1980) ie, Devil on the Cross, Matigari ma Njiruungi (1986) ie, Matigari and Mũrogi was Kagogo (2004) ie, Wizard of the Crow. PETALS OF BLOOD: CRITICAL REVIEWThe title of Ngugi's novel Petals of Blood (1977) comes from a poem "The Swamp" by Derek Walcott which was mentioned in the novel's dedication as followsFearful, Original Sinuosities! Each mangrove sapling resembles a serpent, its obscene roots like a six-fingered hand, hides in its grasp the mossy toad, the poisonous mushrooms, the mighty red lily, the blood petals, the spotted vulva of the tiger orchid; extravagant phalluses that infest travelers of his only road .Derek Walcott, from the swamp At first Ngugi wanted to title this novel as “Ballad of a barmaid”, so Barmaid is a reference to one of the most important characters in the novel whose name is “ Wanja”. However, no one knows the real reason for this change, which is why the term Blood Petals appears several times in different ways throughout the novel, starting with a child among Munira's pupils who tries to describe the color of a flower as it is mentioned. in the novel;“He picked flowers and taught them the name of the various parts: the stigma, the pistil, the pollen, the petal. He told them a little about fertilization. A child shouted: 'Look. A flower with petals of blood.'” (P: 21) Then, it is applied throughout the story in order to describe flames which have a connection with virginity and this was shown in Munira's fantasies about sexual intercourse. Despite all this, there is no explanation for the purpose of not highlighting the single "Wanja", and here many critics argue that the reason may lie in Ngugi's belief that naming the novel after an individual goes against Ngugi's belief that individual qualities should not take action.
