Romantic Love In Brian Friel's Translations

Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject Literature - Modern Literature, grade: 1,3, Catholic University Eichstätt-Ingolstadt, language: English, abstract: Brian Friel's play "Translations" takes place in Baile Beag, a rural, Irish-speaking community in County Donegal, and is set in the year 1833. Its historical setting marks a major transition within the Irish culture, which was progressively eradicated by the British colonizers at that time. This paper examines the concept of love in "Translations". All kinds of romantic love presented in the play will be analyzed. First, the focus will be on the asymmetrical love between Sarah and Manus as well as on its consequences. Then, the conflict-laden love triangle between the engaged couple Manus and Maire, and the newly enamored lovers Maire and Yolland will be analyzed precisely. After that, there will be an insight in Jimmy Jack's love towards the ancient Greek goddess Athena. 9783668944725 3668944725 20 BOOK http://books.google.com/books/content?id=v_GPxgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=5&source=gbs_api http://books.google.com/books/content?id=v_GPxgEACAAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&source=gbs_api en 9783668944725
