  • Résumé : "John Bull's Other Island" by George Bernard Shaw is a play that explores themes of cultural identity, nationalism, and personal transformation against the backdrop of early 20th century Ireland. The narrative follows Tom Broadbent, an English civil engineer, and his Irish partner, Larry Doyle, as they embark on a journey to Ireland to manage an estate. Broadbent, with his idealistic views and lack of understanding of Irish culture, contrasts sharply with Doyle, who is deeply conflicted about returning to his homeland. The play delves into the complexities of Irish identity through Doyle's internal struggle and his interactions with characters like Nora Reilly, a woman from his past, and Peter Keegan, a former priest with a mystical outlook on life. Shaw uses these characters to critique both English and Irish societal norms, highlighting the absurdities and contradictions inherent in nationalistic fervor and cultural stereotypes. The play is rich in dialogue that reveals the characters' inner conflicts and societal pressures, ultimately questioning the nature of progress and the possibility of reconciling personal and national identities.
