초록

John Millington Synge‘s first play Riders to the Sea is the most imaginative, impressive, and tragic work out of his six plays. In this play in one act, Synge deals with the Aran island surrounded by the relentless sea, the details and multiple deaths of everyday peasant life, individual torment and fatalistic submission. Especially, Synge presents the cruelty of the sea as the symbol of an implacable force in the universe. The sea takes life and gives torment to Maurya who lost her husband and six sons. As the play unfolds, the deaths of Michael and Bartley represent all the other deaths to come and Maurya's grief is an epitome of all man's experience. At the close of the play, she invokes God's mercy on the souls of all, the living and the dead. She acquires calm acquiescence and compassion through the acceptance that life is tragic and the final reality is death. For an audience this feeling intensifies the tragedy. The meaning of Maurya's final speech is central to an understanding of this short drama. Synge comes to the conclusion that death is near and inexorable and we are all riders to the sea, which is death.

Abstract

John Millington Synge‘s first play Riders to the Sea is the most imaginative, impressive, and tragic work out of his six plays. In this play in one act, Synge deals with the Aran island surrounded by the relentless sea, the details and multiple deaths of everyday peasant life, individual torment and fatalistic submission. Especially, Synge presents the cruelty of the sea as the symbol of an implacable force in the universe. The sea takes life and gives torment to Maurya who lost her husband and six sons. As the play unfolds, the deaths of Michael and Bartley represent all the other deaths to come and Maurya's grief is an epitome of all man's experience. At the close of the play, she invokes God's mercy on the souls of all, the living and the dead. She acquires calm acquiescence and compassion through the acceptance that life is tragic and the final reality is death. For an audience this feeling intensifies the tragedy. The meaning of Maurya's final speech is central to an understanding of this short drama. Synge comes to the conclusion that death is near and inexorable and we are all riders to the sea, which is death.
