Tis pretty funky, and has an element of magic. I feel as if there's a historical context that I personally am missing. Was cool though, not problematic that I noticed.

An outstanding play with some particularly poignant messages about patriotism, war, and national identity. All fans of literature should read this at least once.

“The hope of getting my beautiful fields back again; the hope of putting the strangers out of my house.” 

was a very quick read and an interesting take on irish nationalism and how cathleen represents ireland itself. uhh symbolism!!!! there’s not really a whole lot to discuss here since the show is so straight forward with its symbolism and metaphors but i enjoyed it.

  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

és curteta, però molt guay. la old woman recrea a ireland, que porta amb orgull als joves que han lluitat per ella i que incita a michael a convertirse en un amant d ireland per a combatre l'enemic.

les 4 porcions d terra son les 4 parts d ireland i ella sols vol recuperar el seu territori, la seua casa, que esta sagnant per culpa de l'invasor.

"i did not [see an old woman going down the path], but I saw a young girl, and she had the walk of a queen". Convertint-se en reina i jove quan aconsegueix q michael s'unisca a la batalla

btw mencionar tb que peter (el pare) està molt obsessionat amb els diners i que bridget i michael sí creuen en més coses més allà de les monedes i les fortunes

molt guay la reencarnació d ireland i conèixer una llegenda irlandesa ✨
