Sad Deirdre

About This Novel

"The Sorrow of Deirdre" is a famous love tragedy written by John Millington Synge and Yeats. It is based on the legend of Deirdre and King Conal from Irish mythology. When Deirdre was born, there was a prophecy that she would become a beauty with curly yellow braids and charming gray-green eyes, but the king and lords would wage war for her... When Deirdre grew up, King Conor wanted to marry her as his queen, but she had a lover, Naxi. So King Conor sent troops to kill the three Naxi brothers. Finally, Deirdre committed suicide on their graves. The play is a three-act tragedy that Synge left unfinished during his lifetime and was later completed by Yeats and Synge's widow, Molly Allgood.
