Abstract
Synge's plays contain some of the most arresting figures in modern drama, his characterization second only to his unique language, the most striking feature of his writing. Of the men, only Christy Mahon and Martin Doul stand out but the women form a brilliant company usually overshadowing the other characters. Chapter 1, p. 1.
