•"A Dance in the Forest is a play which explores the various issues like the independence movement of Nigeria, the relation of tradition to history and the inter-relationship of arts and politics. Wole Soyinka stresses that it is the duty of the citizens to rid their country of any evils. This awareness is brought about very effectively by the "play-within-a-play" mode. It was Soyinka's method of calling all artists who he believed could make that positive change in the society, as it was impossible for any artist to remain immune to the ills of society.

•Through the play within a play mode, Soyinka warns the people that if they were not alert and vigil , history would repeat itself and the people would repeat their mistakes, which would eventually prove detrimental to the evolution and progress of a country.

•He emphasises the fact that it would do good for the Nigerians to remember the bloody past and learn lessons from it , and take care not to repeat those heinous and grievous crimes and mistakes" .
