Madame Danglars and Mercedes act as great foils for each other because they have two very different approaches to a very similar problem. Both had been affected by the ruin of their husbands. Madame Danglars had actually played a part in her misfortune, but felt wronged. Mercedes, on the other hand, had nothing to do with her problems, yet felt no self-pity or anguish for the loss.

What are the major themes on Ferdinand oyono's book houseboy?

It depends whether you're looking for something specific like character based themes and which subject this question is for... English? I'm actually working on a comparative essay about Houseboy and The Metamorphosis right now... so the basic themes are exploitation, oppression, changes in the protagonist (e.g. a change in perspective of the European community through revelations. Or the nature of change, the causes and consequent repercussions), changes in the secondary characters (especially Madame) and finally something about women and their subtle hold of power. Despite being the inferior gender, Madame possess the power (and the looks!) to manipulate men into doing her will or turning a blind eye. Hope this helped! :)
