Answer:

The Irishwoman Maurya blamed her anger and mystical beliefs for the death of her son.

Thus, the superstitions played a major role in making the story heart breaking and emotional.

Explanation:

  • This is a synopsis from the play 'Riders to the Sea'.
  • In this story a woman named Maurya, lost her husband and sons to the sea, and how her remaining son Bartley decided against her wish to went on a voyage for making money.
  • But Maurya denied him, despite that he sold all the horses to collect money so that he can go on ship.
  • This led to Maurya being angry and not giving him her blessings.
  • After that, she got worried as the sisters forgot to give cake to Maurya, which in this case was seen a bad omen.

Hence, in this way the gloomy atmosphere and superstitions intensify the tragic effect.
