The Influence of Religiosity on Narrative Elements and Character Development in John Millington Synge's Riders to the Sea
Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 08
Abstract
John Millington Synge's Riders to the Sea is an Irish play that explores the profound impact of religious beliefs on its characters' lives. The narrative centers on Maurya, an aging matriarch who endures immense loss as her male descendants are metaphorically consumed by the merciless sea. Unlike traditional tragedies, the calamity in this play does not arise from a disruption of order leading to the hero's downfall. Instead, the characters are portrayed as victims of the unpredictable sea, impervious to religious rituals. Through the integration of this funeral motif, Synge elevates the family tragedy to a universal drama, resonating with themes of fate and human suffering.
