Art/Literary - Anthropology | | German term or phrase: den Schein für die Sache nehmen | | Wenn jemand sich von Äußerlichkeiten täuschen lässt und statt des wahren Gehalts einer Sache eben nur deren Blendwerk sieht. |
| | | take appearances for reality | Explanation:
Called one of the "richest, most imageful and full blown modern comedies," The Playboy of the Western World is a celebration of the comic and the tender, the earthy and the grand. When young Christy Mahon, on the way to finding his true love - and his manhood - bashes his bully of a father, he becomes the idol of a small Irish village, thus setting off the famed playwright's sardonic attack on the Irish tendency to take appearances for reality.
