 Essay Grade: 86%Tragedy and Satire of Irish Life as Depicted by J.M. Syng
712 words, approx. 2 pages
"Riders to The Sea" and "The Playboy of the Western World" represent opposite poles of the work of Irish playwright J.M. Syng. "Riders to the Sea," a play depicting the struggles of those who work with and on the sea, displays Syng's patriotism toward his home country. On the other hand, "The Playboy of the Western World" is a harsh, often brutal satire of Irish patriarchal society and Irish manhood.
