dc.description.abstractThis Master dissertation is a comparative genre study which explores ideology and neurosis in L. Holder’s When the Chickens Came Home to Roost (1980) and J.M. Synge’s The Well of the Saints (1905). This study begins with an introduction, followed by Methods and Materials as well as the historical context of each one of the two aforementioned plays. Its discussion section includes two different chapters. In the first one, to discuss ideology in both plays I explore Terry Eagleton’s theory of ideology as developed in his book Literary Theory: An Introduction by focusing on the element of domination. As for the second chapter, to cope with neurosis in both plays, I should like to throw light on Karen Horney’s theory of neurosis as developed in her book Neurosis and Human Growth: The Struggle Toward Self- Realization. My main objective behind the whole work, first and foremost, is to draw an analogy between the two plays with regard to the exploration of the two abovementioned concepts. The study reveals that in Holder’s play, Elijah Muhammad takes profit from ideological beliefs, and Malcolm X supports the charge of those beliefs. In Synge’s play, the study reveals also that Martin Doul and his wife support the charge of ideological beliefs, and the other villagers take profit from them. It reveals, as well, that almost all the characters in both works suffer from neurosis.en
