| dc.description | Occasional tension in families springs from power conflicts between individuals of different ages. Psychology has studied the particular tension between mothers and daughters and compiled several observations on it in a theory termed “the mother-daughter bond.” Martin McDonagh’s play The Beauty Queen of Leenane manifests the struggle between a mother and her daughter to claim power and, in so doing, they actively oppress one another until the annhilation of one of them becomes the final consequence of an ongoing circle of abuse. Such dysfunctional relationship manifests the degeneration of the mother-daughter bond and provides an explanation for the brutality of the two central characters in McDonagh’s play. | en-US |
| dc.description | En las familias, ocasionalmente surgen tensiones debido a conflictos de poder entre individuos de distintas edades. La psicología ha estudiado la tensión particular entre madres e hijas y ha recopilado observaciones diversas en una teoría denominada “el vínculo madre-hija”. La obra de teatro The Beauty Queen of Leenane, de Martin McDonagh, manifiesta la lucha por el poder entre una madre y su hija y muestra cómo ambas se oprimen mutuamente hasta que la aniquilación de una de ellas cierra el círculo de abuso. Esta relación disfuncional muestra la degeneración del vínculo madre-hija y provee una explicación para la brutalidad de los personajes principales de la obra. | es-ES |
