Analysis Riders to the Sea
Analysis from Riders to the Sea
John Millington Synge is the creator of the tragedy play “Riders to the Sea”. The story is developed in West Ireland and it begins with Nora and Cathleen two sisters that are arguing about what can they do with a bundle that contains some cloths taking from a drowned man that might be her missing brother. Suddenly appears Maurya (the mother) and she starts begging Bartley (her last living son) to stay instead of going to the sea. Bartley ignores her pleas and decided to go but without Mauryas blessing. Cathleen and Nora persuade their mother to go and chase Bartley to give him some bread and the blessing, but she returns horrified because apparently she saw Michael riding a horse. Her daughters show Maurya the cloth that belongs to Michael her dead son and then she realized that Bartley is going to die.
The philosopher Aristotle in the era of the Ancient Greeks created the Aristotle’s Poetics, which is a write that clarifies the “Rules” of the theatre. Aristotle decided to enumerate in order of importance (the first is the most essential and ending with the least) the six elements, which are: Plot, Characters, Thought, Diction, Music and Spectacle. In order to analyze the lecture “Riders to the Sea” I’m going to base in the six elements of Aristotle’s Poetics.
The Plot of the story has a unity of time starting with the inciting incident, when Maurya see the pony with Michael’s ghost, then the rising action with mini climax for example: when Bartley leaves the house or when they prove that is Michael’s cloth. Third whit the climax: when Maurya raise her head and decide to act careless and finally with the denouement and the conclusion that is when Maurya overcomes the sea.
The Characters of the story are: the Protagonist that is Maurya that after the climax, her attitude changed, escaping the sea, she wins the controversy with her careless attitude. The Antagonist is obviously the sea because working against her and trying
