	Synge
		Synge’s primary role in presenting the life of the islands to the reader is that of an organizing intelligence, the ideal observer, the selecting eye of the camera.
		Synge, throughout his entire life, never really belonged to a group of people or a movement; and that was not because he had not got the chance to do so but because he decided otherwise to trust only his own judgement of certain circumstances.
		Synge found on the islands for the first time in his life an outside world that was so similar to his own situation that he was able to use it as a means to express himself and the attitudes towards life that were already formed inside him.

	ENTC 311 - Critical Notes on Synge
		Yet, in Synge's plays also, fantasy gives the form and not the thought, for the core is always, as in all great art, an overpowering vision of certain virtues, and our capacity for sharing in that vision is the measure of our delight.
		Synge in 1898 was a dilettante, self-consciously cherishing his `impressions,' at his most imitative when he tried hardest to express his own reactions.
		Synge therefore insisted that `the rollicking note is present in the Irish character--present to an extent some writers of the day do not seem to be aware of--and it demands, if we choose to deal with it, a free rollicking style.'.

	John Millington Synge
		With the unselfish insight that is not one of the least of Yeat's claims to distinction, he realized that here was a real genius being wasted on various kinds of literary hackwork.
		He persuaded Synge to return to Ireland and devote that genius to the themes of Irish life and the needs of the recently initiated Irish theater movement.
		Especially was he interested in those islands just off the west coast, and his famous one-act play, Riders to the Sea, sums up the essence of the "constant struggle of the islanders against their relentless enemy, the sea." [2] Many critics rate this play as Synge's best in spite of its brevity.
