Lastly, the tensions between Law and Nation are highlighted. The play shows that harmony can be found in the midst
10、 of great tensions and promotes songs and community as the way to achieve harmony in the new Irish nationalism.,The Rising of the Moon月出,10,Diction,S: “He must have had some friends among the gaolers.”(P881) This quote further implies that the Man is one of the people-he is not distinctly individual
11、 because what Ireland needs is a community, a group of people, not one hero. Although we learn later that his name is Jimmy Walsh, he is referred to for the duration of the play as “Man” and this is a significant message from Lady.

Lady Gregory allows the two man from “different worlds” to discover a common bond between, and
15、 they begin to create a deeper connection as the ragged man names more songs he believes the sergeant possibly sang as a young boy. Throughout the play, the two man grow closer and more comfortable in the presence of one another. They share a seat on the barrel.,The Rising of the Moon月出,13,Question,
