Summary "St. Patrick's Eve" by Charles James Lever is a novel written in the mid-19th century. Set in a rural Irish village, the story primarily revolves around the lives of the humble villagers celebrating the festival of St. Patrick, showcasing their joys, struggles, and complex dynamics, particularly through the eyes of several characters, including Owen Connor and Mary Joyce. As the narrative unfolds, it highlights themes of social class, duty, and the impacts of fortune and adversity on human relationships. At the start of the novel, the scene is set on the eve of St. Patrick's Day, as a small village by Lough Corrib prepares for its annual fair. The villagers engage in various festivities, displaying a mix of joy and merriment, with an undercurrent of tension evident in their interactions. Several characters are introduced, including Owen Connor, a peasant whose devotion to his landlord's son pits him in a local conflict during the fair, raising questions about status and entitlement. As relationships, both romantic and familial, develop against the backdrop of class distinctions and societal expectations, the opening establishes a rich, animated tableau of rural life that sets the stage for the unfolding drama.
