Lady Gregory’s play, The Rising of the Moon, is a political play written against the background of war of independence of Ireland from the British rule. When the play was written, Ireland was struggling for her independence against the British rule. On the issue of war of independence the Irish people were divided into two groups. One group was in opinion that the war of independence is not necessary because there were peace and prosperity under the British government. On the other hand, the other group opined that slavery in any form was not good. So, they launched a guerrilla war against the direct rule of British government and called themselves Irish Republican Army(IRA).The play mainly deals with the two characters who are opposite in their thoughts and actions. One, the revolutionary hero, is full of patriotism and struggles for the freedom of his motherland. The other, an Irish police sergeant in the service of the British government, is very loyal to perform his duty. When the two characters meet and indulge into a discussion, they are torn into duty and patriotism. In this paper we propose to study the power of these two opposite senses, patriotism and duty, and to find which sense becomes triumph in the end of the play.
