Translations



Discussion Questions:

  • What do we mean when we say something is "lost in translation"? How does this get explored in Friel's play?
  • What is the connection between Yolland's budding romance with Maire and his developing love of Ireland?
  • What is the significance of naming? Do/should names carry history with them?
  • Is language a vessel for culture? In other words, without the language, do you lose the connection to a culture and its past?
  • Do you agree with Owen (that the Irish locals should learn English) or not?

  1. Ok, today in class we talked about One Note. I found it on my computer and have been playing around with it. Professor Ambrose is totally right! This will totally change your life!
