Damned Forever. Fatalism in John Millington Synge's &quote;Riders To The Sea&quote;

Research Paper (postgraduate) from the year 2013 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Literature, grade: A, Jamshedpur Womens College (Affiliated to Kolhan University), language: English, abstract: Fatalism plays a crucial role in the working of Synge's "e;Riders To The Sea"e; and is scrutinized so as to determine the extent to which it precipitates into a tragedy. In this connection, the faiths, beliefs and aspirations of man are taken into account, which necessarily guide a man towards his fortune. The fragile innocent human is studied meticulously from the gigantic vision of mystic fate. The nature of the characters concerned and their idiosyncrasies have been laid out to depict humankind in general. The concept of free will has been elaborated upon. Also, the feasibility of existentialism has been closely analysed for a proper assessment of the play.
