"Death & the King's Horseman" Reaction

From these early acts, Elesin came off, to me, as bragadocious and errogant, but, also, as a quit captivating and respected speaker according to the people.  It seems that Elesin is sacrificing himself only for the fame that comes before his sacrifice.  He can essentially get any girl he wants, and he is looked at as a hero to the people.  Elesin does not appear in it for the good of the people, but more in it for the good of him.  Elesin clearly realizes that all of this attention he is receiving stems from his upcoming sacrifice, and he is essentially milking it for all its worth.

- My reaction brings up the question: Do you believe Elisen is in it for the good of man, or simply for himself?
- What exactly is the sacrifice for, and why is he going to be arrested for doing this?
