What is the importance of the title of the poem limbo by brathwaite?
Basically, the title has ambigious meaning in that Limbo has more than one meaning or interpritation: Limbo is regarded as the place the between heaven and hell and in the poem, his homeland represents Heaven, his destination- hell and Limbo the space inbetween; the ocean. The title is full of double entredre (more than one meaning) as it is about the ‘game’ of Limbo rather than the actual ‘place’, however refferences to his destination are made that gesture towards the idea of Limbo being a place rather than merely a game; ‘On the burning ground’ Hope this helps.
