In The Burdens, Ruganda uses folklore to symbolize the theme of political issues.

The spears in the hut (rotted) serve as a symbol of office, their state of rot represents the disintigration of the kingdom.

The drums are a symbol of re-establishing authority.

Wamala's death serves as a symbol of the end of a generation.
