Summary of The Rising of The Moon

  The Rising of the Moon by Lady Gregory: Summary On a moonlit night at an Irish wharf by the sea, three Irish policemen in the service of the occupying English government pasted up wanted posters for a clever escaped political criminal. Convinced that the escaped rebel might creep to the water's edge to be rescued by sea, they all hoped to capture him for the hundred-pound reward and perhaps even a promotion. Lady Gregory (1852-1932) The Sergeant sent his two younger assistants with the only lantern to post more leaflets around town while, uneasily, he kept watch at the water's edge.

Character of ragged man from ' The Rising of the Moon'

Character of Ragged Man. The ragged man in the play is a true patriot who wants to see his country Ireland free from British oppression. He has heroic qualities. He introduces himself as a ballad singer and tries to bring about transformation in the sergeant through patriotic ballads. He is so natural in his disguise that the sergeant can't recognise his true form. The man succeds in arousing the patriotic feeling in the mind of the Sergeant.
