Abstract EN
Daughter's abuse is part of the child-abuse that becomes an international phenomenon in modern era, so it captures the interest of the contemporary feminist Irish playwright, Marina Carr(b.1964) and occupies the center of her plays.
Through her drama, Carr gives an opportunity to discover the parental role in the daughter abuse which is really a crucial universal problem.
Here-upon, the present study is devoted to investigate the cause and consequences of the daughter abuse by a literary analysis of Carr's plays: By the Bog of Cats (1998) and On Raftery's Hill (2000), which both reflect an intergenerational abuse.In By the Bog of Cats, Carr dramatizes "mother-daughter" bond and shows how the absent mother affects the whole position of the daughter in the family as well as in life.
While in On Raftery's Hill, which reflects "father-daughter" tie, emphasizes the daughters' helplessness before their brutal fathers who have the combined power of men, parents and adults.
Finally, there is a conclusion which sums up the major findings of the study.
