Deirdre of the Sorrows is a play written by John M. Synge, an Irish playwright. The play is based on an ancient Irish legend about a woman named Deirdre, who is said to be the most beautiful woman in Ireland. The story follows Deirdre as she falls in love with a warrior named Naoise and runs away with him, despite warnings from a seer that their love will lead to tragedy.As the play progresses, Deirdre and Naoise are hunted down by the king of Ireland, who wants Deirdre for himself. The couple is eventually betrayed by a man named Fergus, who had promised to protect them. Naoise is killed, and Deirdre is forced to marry the king. However, she refuses to be with him and ultimately takes her own life.Deirdre of the Sorrows is a tragedy that explores themes of love, betrayal, and fate. It is considered one of Synge's most accomplished works and is often performed in Ireland today.I'll give you a riddle, Deirdre: Why isn't my father as ugly and old as Conchubor? You've no answer? . . . . It's because Naisi killed him.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
