- Relationships
- Gar & Madge
- Madge is a mother figure
who understands his real
needs. Through her he has
learned everything he
knows about his mother.
She is genuinely sorry he
is leaving and shows a
strong concern for his
welfare, for example we
can see how she sacrifices
herself in order that he
can get a cup of tea on the
plane.

- Gar & S.B
- Gar is unable to communicate with his father.
This is one of the main reasons why he wants to
emigrate to Philadelphia. Neither Gar nor his
father has come to terms with the past. Gar and
his father are similar. They are both afraid to
express themselves emotionally and are almost
embarrassed in one another’s company. They are
afraid to face their own limitations and
acknowledge them. Both characters yearn to be
loved and understood and tragically their one
attempt in the play backfires. Gar attempts at
the conclusion to relive the day when he went
fishing with his father as a young boy on Lough
na Cloc Cor. However, his father has no
recollection of that day. Shortly after this incident
we listen to S.B.’s animated reminiscences of the
past when he brought Gar to school on his first
day in his “wee sailor suit”. Both characters find
no difficulty in communicating their real needs to
Madge. The tragedy of this play is that the
conclusion shows no difference in the situation.
