Codarsnacht/Teama: An Bean Flashcards
An Bean P1
Ar taobh eile den scéal, is bean neamhspleách nua-aimseartha í atá sa dán seo.
Theastaigh uaithi mianta as an bpósadh freisin, ‘dídean is searc’ mar shampla.
Ní raibh mórán cosúlachtaí eile idir an bheirt acu.
Ní raibh sí sásta a bheith ag brath ar a fear céile chun í a cothrú.
Ba mhaith léi a bheith neamhspleách agus coithrom sa phósadh
On the other side of the story, the woman is seen as independent and modern in this poem
Ar taobh eile den scéal, is bean neamhspleách nua-aimseartha í atá sa dán seo.
She wanted to be married too, ‘___’ for example
Theastaigh uaithi mianta as an bpósadh freisin, ‘dídean is searc’ mar shampla.
There aren’t many similarities between the two
Ní raibh mórán cosúlachtaí eile idir an bheirt acu.
She isn’t happy to be dependent on her husband to keep her
Ní raibh sí sásta a bheith ag brath ar a fear céile chun í a cothrú.
She would like to be independent and equal in the marriage
Ba mhaith léi a bheith neamhspleách agus coithrom sa phósadh
An Bean P.2
Theastaigh uaithi a roghanna féin a dhéanamh ‘is taobh den bríste, is leath den chíste.’
Fad is a bhí mianta an fhir dírithe arban teaglach
Bhí mianta na mná dírithe ar rudaí taobh amuigh den bhaile, laethanta saoire, saibhneas, stádas, ‘saoire thar lear is meas na mílte’.
Níl aon chaint faoi chlann agus an file déanamh cur síos an mbean
She wants to make decisions ‘half of the trousers, half of the cake’
Theastaigh uaithi a roghanna féin a dhéanamh ‘is taobh den bríste, is leath den chíste.’
While the man wanted a family, she wants a house outside of town, holidays, wealth, status ‘travel abroad..’
Fad is a bhí mianta an fhir dírithe ar an teaglach
Bhí mianta na mná dírithe ar rudaí taobh amuigh den bhaile, laethanta saoire, saibhneas, stádas, ‘saoire thar lear is meas na mílte’.
Not once does she talk about family as the poet describes the woman
Níl aon chaint faoi chlann agus an file déanamh cur síos an mbean
