The Play Boy of the Western World

Synge has beautifully captured many themes in his play "Playboy"; themes which can be very well related to the present times. Elements like affirmation, despair, romance, comedy and irony are still to be seen in todays life.
In todays age of technological advacement and nuclear families, we can still find people facing issues due to the tyranny of older generation. This is very common in closed cultural societies like that of India, where people still believe in traditional concepts of large families. Having stated this, it does not mean that in modern face of cultures people have stopped respecting elders, but the tyrannical element is still existing.
Also, todays man struggles from the issue of reality versus fantasy as portrayed by Synge in his play. The protagonist of the play Christygrows mature and realises his own reality and new-self through his fantasy and false story. His false stroy and crowd's faith in him eventually contribute to the growth of confidence in him. He himself acknowledges at the end of the play that the Mayo crowd has made a " mighty man of him by the power of alie".

Play boy of the western world brings the life back to the present world and here the themes are well woven and inter connected with the present situation. being a murder he is very well praised by the crowd unlike today's present scenario also the more the powerful the more praise worthy the difference is that after knowing the truth the mayo people rejects his bravery when his dead father appears back ...but in today’s world there is no difference coz human values are vanished somewhere..... thus in this connection the feeling of love ,dominance ,supremacy ,the wish to acquire something ,the economic condition ,the working of girl in the crowded pub like areas where it is always surrounded by mail ...is very much present in today’s time and the most important the breaking of heart ..After someone falls in true love. And they cannot get what they wont...The same thing
