  • Essay / Conflict In Irish Drama - 972

    How does Irish drama show on stage the survival of the Irish people in the face of conflict and disappointment?Irish drama shows on stage the survival of the Irish people in the face of conflict and disappointment to the disappointment of repressed feelings of violence and disappointment. This is expressed through a style of heightened realism in The Beauty Queen of Leenane (BQOL) by Martin McDonagh and Dancing at Lughnasa (DAL) by Brian Friel. In BQOL, cold violence is shown by the close proximity of the characters on stage, emphasizing the conflict that leads directly to the characters' judgments. While in DAL, tensions and outbursts of violence arise from conflicts between characters within religious and ethical frameworks due to the setting, this thus shows how stubborn intolerance towards different beliefs only leads to dysfunctional relationships. Through my empirical judgment of the staging of the two sets, I believe that it is constructed in such a way as to give the impression of a play on stage, but at the same time includes a kitchen area, with dim lighting and a dilapidated old style structure, making it a dark and depressing atmosphere. Although ADL additionally requires a garden and courtyard to the right of the stage, this allows the audience to watch the action through the fourth wall. From my own heuristic point of view, DQL has eight main characters where the play takes place in a small, single level house. in which they live. Through workshop observations, it can be seen that this sense of intimacy and family is fundamental, leading to behavioral concerns, which provoke sudden outbursts from these sisters, particularly Kate. The Irish drama begins with a simple discussion between Chris, Agnes and Maggie about their physical condition. appearance where during the workshop the broken mirror was in the middle of paper......to use the level and pace of Mag's rapid delivery of dialogue and Maureen's slow, deliberate delivery to denote status and relationship of power of the character The emphasis on Maureen's brutality and the calmness of her responses after the torture, through her apparent indifference towards the magazine, shows her heartlessness. That the scene is as recurring as it has been once before gives an idea of ​​the repressed violence of the play and of Irish theater in general. From an examination of Irish drama through these two plays The Beauty Queen of Leenane and Dancing at Lughnasa shows that the dramatization of the survival of the Irish people in the face of conflict and disappointment through the feeling of being confronted with conflict and a sense of repressed violence contributes significantly to the intended meanings of the plays and provides a basis for understanding the Irish people.
