$\huge{\fbox{\fbox{\bigstar{\mathfrak{\red{hello}}}}}}$

. Most of her drama featured Irish peasants and was not overtly political; she insisted that she was not promoting political rebellion with this play. Nevertheless, in 1907, when the play was first performed, many Irish knew the popular old ballad “The Rising of the Moon,” in which the ascending moon is a signal for “rising,” or rebellion. Lady Gregory’s sympathies were with the people of Ireland. She was, however, adamantly against violence. She sympathized with Irish calls for independence from English rule, but she chose not to join the more strident Irish voices. Her chosen form of political statement was to highlight Irish language and customs. She was convinced that if the English saw the true Gaelic soul, they would sympathize with the desire of the Irish to rule themselves. In this play, the rebel’s cleverness is depicted, not his crimes.

As in other Gregory plays, the dialogue evokes native Irish rhythms and lore. The Ragged Man and the Sergeant share Irish speech and knowledge of old sentimental and patriotic songs, a feature of nearly all Gregory plays. Granuaile, the bound and wailing old woman in the song the Ragged Man sings, is a symbol for suffering Ireland. The line the Ragged Man leaves out and that the Sergeant furnishes is the most agonizing of all: “Her gown she wore was stained with gore.” This reference to Irish martyrs would not have been lost on Lady Gregory’s audience. In fact, when reviewers suspected that the play was a patriotic statement even though Lady Gregory denied it, the Dublin police force took back the uniforms it had previously lent to the drama company as costumes.
