Abstract EN
Colonized people suffer due to cultural struggle and identity loss.
Brian Friel (1929–2015) dealt with the consequences of British colonisation of Ireland.
This paper explores the fragmented identity in Friel’s Philadelphia, Here I Come!.
It depicts the contradicting feelings of a young man who decides to leave his country.
Still, he is unable to overcome his emotional loyalty to his past.
Friel divides the protagonist into two characters played by two actors on the stage.
The memories in the play form an integral part of identity being live images that satisfy inner needs.
The characters’ inner conflicts and personal dilemma reflect general social problems
