"The Colleen Bawn; or, the Brides of Garryowen" by Dion Boucicault and Gerald Griffin is a domestic drama written in the mid-19th century. The play follows the complex relationships and moral dilemmas surrounding Hardress Cregan, who is torn between his love for Eily O’Connor, a peasant girl known as the Colleen Bawn, and the pressure from his family to marry Anne Chute, a wealthy heiress. This narrative explores themes of love, social class, and the consequences of one's choices. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Hardress Cregan, who is preparing to meet Eily O’Connor as he confides in his companion Danny about his feelings for her. Eily's unwavering love for Hardress is contrasted with the societal expectations and obligations he faces, especially from his mother, who wishes him to marry Anne Chute for financial stability. Tensions quickly escalate when Hardress’s secret marriage to Eily creates internal conflict, and when Corrigan, the family's agent, seeks to expose this secret for his gain, the stakes rise dramatically. The opening sets up a web of relationships that foreshadow dire consequences as love clashes with duty and honor.
