Although most of Brian Friel's plays explore the history of Ireland and Irish people, he is not an exclusive nationalist. In many plays he acknowledges the inner problems of Irish society and overcomes the Irishness of his plays to universalize them. Especially, through his Tony-Award winning play Dancing at Lughnasa, Friel presents not only the Irish circumstances of the 1930s but also the general lives of women vividly. In this play, the five Mundy sisters are described as victims of the restrictive religious, social, and economic norms of the 1930s in Ireland and also of the male-centered patriarchal society in general.
Ireland in the 1930s was controlled by oppressive and restrictive catholic ethos. Formally affirmed by De Valera's "Catholic Constitution," the catholic church controlled the private lives of the Irish people and did not show any religious toleration for pagans. The Mundy sisters are obviously victims of such a restrictive and exclusive church. We can clearly see this when the only wage-earner, Kate, is rejected by the church and loses her job only because her brother, Father Jack, was a heathen. As a result, their family is gradually disintegrated. The restrictive catholic church acts as a dominant force over the Mundy sisters.
The Mundy sisters are also described as victims of the social norm of the 1930s which emphasizes the appropriate woman's role in marriage and home. As spinsters or unmarried mother, they fail to live up to the social expectations of that period. So they are ostracized from Ballybeg society and even abandoned by Michael for whom they devoted their lives acting as foster mothers. They are also victims of the traditional patriarchal oriented society of that era.
Mundy sisters are destined to a tragic ending when they are rejected by the male-centered economic norm. The Irish constitution restricted women within the home and they could only do housework. Although they do work hard in the house, they could not find any way to make a living. So, after losing her teaching job, Kate can only get a tutoring job. Furthermore, industrialization leads Agnes and Rose to lose their knitting jobs and to leave home to lighten the economic burden.
Unable to live in accordance with the norms of the 1930s, they are gradually isolated from society and their family crumbles. By describing the tragedies that befall the five Mundy sisters, Friel shows the circumstances surrounding Ireland during the 1930s and the realistic status and conditions of women.
