The play explores themes of identity, heroism, and the allure of storytelling as a young man, after claiming to have killed his father, becomes a local sensation in a rural Irish community. As the villagers grapple with his tale, their perceptions of masculinity and morality are challenged, leading to a mix of admiration and skepticism. Synge's work captures the complexities of human nature and societal expectations, all set against the backdrop of early 20th-century Ireland.
