About The Only Jealousy of Emer & The Death of Cuchulainn
This is the inevitable conclusion of the Myth of Cuchulainn as set out by W.B. Yeats. "The Only Jealousy of Emer" is a story of self sacrifice and humility brought about through humiliation and debauchery. And yet, through all of that, each action taken by the characters in done out of love. If the other portions of Yeats' Myth of Cuchulainn were about fealty, this play is about true devotion, even unto giving up that precious item at the bottom of Pandora's box. As the title suggests, "The Death of Cuchulainn" is about as mythic and yet as human as the titular character. A man worn down with time, finally in acceptance of his fate. A fate still worth telling and felt in the Irish people today.
