An Triail:A theaghlach Flashcards
Sean wanted to be a priest but it appears that he would not be able to be fitted for the role of a priest and having a sister as a single mother
Theastaigh ó Sheán a bheith ina shagart ach bhí an chuma ar an scéal nach bhfeadfadh sé a bheith oirrithe ina shagart agus a dheirfiúr ina máthair shingil
It’s true that much of the suffering in Máires life was caused by her mother and her brothers, Liam and Seán in the drama An Triail
Is fíor gurbh í a muintir féin, a máthair agus a deartháireacha, Liam agus Seán, ba chúis le cuid mhór den fhulaingt i saol Mháire sa dráma An Triail.
You would be thinking that since she was a mother herself that she would that she would have pity for her daughter Máire when she shows her that Máire is carrying a child
Bheifeá ag ceapadh, ós rud é gur máthair í féin, go mbeadh trua aici dá hiníon Máire, nuair is léir di go bhfuil Máire ag iompar linbh.
The opposite is true however
A mhalairt ar fad atá fíor, áfach.
Bean Uí Chathasaigh is a widow
Baintreach is ea Bean Uí Chathasaigh.
She had to raise her family without any help from anyone
Ar an ábhar sin bhí uirthi an chlann a thógáil gan chabhair ó aon duine: ‘
She has a life plan for the three of them
Tá plean saoil leagtha amach aici don triúr acu.
According to her Seán will be a priest Máire will be a nun and Liam will join the farm
Beidh Seán ina shagart, Máire ina bhean rialta agus Liam i mbun na feirme, dar léi.
The most important thing in her life is the opinion and views of the neighbourhood
An rud is tábhachtaí ina saol ná tuairim agus dearcadh na gcomharsan ina leith.
She puts pressure on Máire to marry Pádraig
Cuireann sí brú ar Mháire Pádraig Mac Cárthaigh a phósadh.
She says that if he doesn’t marry her that they will be embarrassed infront of the parish
Deir sí, mura bpósann sé í, go mbeidh siad náirithe os comhair an pharóiste.
It’s clear that pity in humanity is not linked with Bean Uí Chathasaigh
Tá sé soiléir nach bhfuil puinn daonnachta ag baint le Bean Uí Chathasaigh.
She kicks Máire out and she refuses to give any help to her
Tugann sí bata agus bóthar do Mháire agus diúltaíonn sí aon chabhair a thabhairt di.
The traits she shows they are traits that were common in Ireland for two decades or so
Na tréithe a léiríonn sí, is tréithe iad a bhí coitianta go maith in Éirinn go dtí dhá scór bliain nó mar sin ó shin.
She is only cold, intimidating inhumane woman
níl inti ach bean fhuar, dhoicheallach, mhídhaonna
Liam is Máire’s oldest brother
Is é Liam an deartháir is sine atá ag Máire
He denied that he was responsible at all for any aspect of his sister’s life
Shéan sé go raibh sé freagrach as gné ar bith de shaol a deirféar.
He took Máire to the dance because his mother forced her to do it
Thóg sé Máire go dtí an damhsa toisc gur chuir a mháthair iachall air é a dhéanamh.
He said in court that he was not her keeper and that she was old enough to go home alone
Dúirt sé sa chúirt nárbh é a coimeádaí é agus go raibh sí aosta go leor le dul abhaile ina haonar.
He was a disgusting person and had a good understanding of his mother’s beliefs and point of views
Duine géarchúiseach ba ea é agus bhí tuiscint mhaith aige ar mheon agus ar dhearcadh a mháthar.
When the mother found out that Máire was pregnant, Liam didn’t stand up for her nor did he give her support
Nuair a fuair an mháthair amach go raibh Máire ag iompar clainne níor sheas Liam suas di ná níor thug sé tacaíocht ar bith di
It was a challenge to take a stand against his mother and never challenged her about her narrow views on life
Bhí sé rólag le seasamh a ghlacadh i gcoinne a mháthar agus níor thug sé dúshlán ar bith di maidir lena dearcadh cúng ar an saol
Sean’s mother -and probably he himself intended to go to priesthood
Bhí sé ar intinn ag máthair Sheáin – agus aige féin, is dócha – go rachadh sé le sagartóireacht
The mother said that Seán was the only person she trusted
Dúirt an mháthair gurbh é Seán an t-aon duine amháin a raibh muinín aici as
