    THEMES
    HIV/AIDS PANDEMIC
    ‘’Passed like a shadow’’ is a symbolic representation of how the disease kills many people all of a sudden. The following events and situations reveal the existence, causes and impact of the disease in the society. For example in the novel, Tusiime, Kunihira, and University students like David and grownups like Adyeri and David and Adyeri’s family perish as they contract HIV/AIDS.That shows that if youths are sexually irresponsible, they stand a high chance of being infected with HIV.
    POVERTY
    In the novel of “Passed like a shadow” poverty is a general situation of inability to get basic needs. It acts as a catalyst in the spread of AIDS. Due to this situation, some people especially girls look for men who are well off economically so that they may survive. Example Kunihira, Tusiime and someUniversity girls use this way as an alternative to get money. For example Kunihira tells Vicky, “look how poor your dress is, you must be the most poorly dressed girl in fort portal….” this shows the level of poverty affect individuals so that leads people to get HIV/AIDS.
    FAMILY INSTABILITY
    The stability of a family brings peace, love, prosperity and success but when there is uncertainty, the family loses direction and stands at risk of breaking up. For example conflicts between parents or children and parent, parent irresponsibility, drunkardness, marriage unfaithfulness, job mishandling and HIV/AIDS. Family conflict: example Adyeri’s family breaks up due to this. He has poor relationship with his children and wife due to his harsh behavior and drunkardness. He ends up dying with HIV/AIDS and his family fell apart.
    IRRESPONSIBILITY
    This shows the habit of not caring or thinking carefully about something. In this novel there are many events as we can see that Adyeri was a drunkard and unfaithful to his wife. That led him to have no time to care for his family as a result children received poor parental care.
    MARRIAGE SYSTEM
    Most couples are not faithful to each other as in ‘’Passed like a shadow ‘’Adyeri had many concubines, one of them being Birungi. Since he was unfaithful in marriage, he ended up bringing HIV/AIDS to his wife, Amoti. Aliganyira was not faithful and hence acquired the disease (HIV/AIDS) and infected his wife (Vicky).
    CONFLICT
    There was a conflict in Adyeri’s family between Adyeri and his wife Amoti. Adyeri was a cruel and irresponsible father who was hated by his children Atwoki and Abooki. Amoti was not in good terms with Vicky and she caused her to run away from home. Adyeri ended up in stiff conflict with his ex-concubine, Birungi.
    SUPERSTITION
    Amoti believed that Birungi, her husband’s concubine, had bewitched him. The drunkard men who used to drink together with Adyeri believed that Adyeri’s death was due to Slim. They had very little knowledge about the disease; hence there was a belief among people that the disease was based on witchcraft. It was abominable for a woman to ride a bicycle in this community as this was termed to be the sign of prostitution.
    POSITION AND ROLE OF A WOMAN
    This refers to the place in which woman is placed in relation to men in a given society. In this novel, a woman is regarded as a tool for sexual pleasure by men. This was shown through Adyeri, David, David’s father, and Atwoki who had many sexual partners for pleasure. For example, David told Atwoki “these were not created for nothing ….if you can’t enjoy girls, then I wonder what else you can enjoy in this world.” They had careless behavior that they all perished of HIV/ AIDS. Women are treated as source of money to men; Adyeri demanded big bride price from Akena in order to marry her. Tusiime and Kunihira used their bodies to run commercial sex to men. Men bought them as commodities. Tusiime tells Vicky “as for me I will sleep with any man to make money, life is not easy. Beauty can make your life different. Put your love for sale….”
    MASSEGE
    • HIV/AIDS is dangerous.
    • Don’t trust anyone.
    • People are ignorant of HIV/AIDS or don’t know much about HIV/AIDS hence majority practices infidelity and prostitution.
