This paper probes into the multi-layered nature of Brian Friel’s relationship with W. B. Yeats. First, I look into a rare occasion in which Friel makes direct reference to Yeats’ text, in The Loves of Cass McGuire. Second, I focus on both writers’ dramatic treatment of the same historical event in Cathleen ni Houlihan and Translations, discussing what they share in common and how they differ from each other. Finally, I analyze the role and meaning of the big house in Friel’s Aristocrats, seeing it as Friel’s response to Yeats’ Purgatory. For both Yeats and Friel, home and home place are not the same, and their literary achievements are a testimony to the tragic power with which both writers struggled with their antinomies forced upon them by the fractured history of Ireland.
