Hence, he writes against a backdrop of dividedness, berates self-imposed social and cultural Irish paralysis.Heaney wrote during violent sectarian animosities referred to as 'The Troubles'. Reflected in his work is the cyclical recurrence of sectarian antipathy, violence, and inherent divisiveness.

He comments on the hopelessness of his people, channelling his unyielding condemnation of Irish paralysis.Heaney endeavours to illuminate the roots of Irish culture, and this reflects his own position in relation to the overarching political impositions.

He acknowledges Joyce as an artistic influence as he admires his naturalistic representations.
