Stephen Sewell envisioned the political and passion in reflecting the Australian society in the early eighties in his play The Blind Giant is Dancing.

With the characters of the play fighting for their own ideology, both Sewell and Flack intends to capture the audience’s attention through a historic remembrance of how the Australian political society came to be, and how it is still relevant in today’s contemporary political discourse. As such, The Blind Giant is Dancing is a successful

Oscar Wilde wrote his plays against the backdrop of the Victorian English society. It therefore helps to discuss the salient aspects of the Victorian society. Victorian England is known for many paradoxes -- glaring contrasts between the rich and the poor, insistence on morality on the one hand and the practice of cynicism on the other, blooming creativity pitted against blatant constriction, imperial grandeur since Britain was then ruling almost one fifth of the total surface of the earth and domestic squalor since the majority of people did not have decent means of livelihood, and finally collectivity dictated by tradition opposed to the rapidly developing individualism. The class system denied the talented members of the lower classes access to social and economic advancement. The upper classes alone had the privilege of working in the government, the armed forces, and the church, while trade was monopolized by the rising middle class.

Erin’s desire to learn about her students stems from her determination to engage them in learning and not as an exercise in awareness itself. The diaries are used to inform Erin’s teaching techniques but are not central to her approach as it would be to the facilitator.
Such revivalists hardly knew the peasants they tried to present in their work so that they could construct them as per the idealization, inside the noble realm of poverty and suffering. Dublin audience did not know exactly – and did not want to know the real Irish. So that they created in their minds an idealized version of Irish peasant which was promoted by the plays of the Irish National Theatre Society, such as W. B. Yeats’s Cathleen Ni Houlihan (1902), or Douglas Hyde’s Irish-language plays. As a result of this blind idealization, Synge’s works were attacked for the actual presentation of Irish folks as they are. Breaking the very expectation of the Dublin audience about the portrayal of characters, his characters did not fit to the idealized ones.
