Resumen
This final project is an approach to Edna O´Brien´s The Country Girls Trilogy through a cornerstone in her fiction: motherhood and the mother-daughter dyad. All along this thesis we will consider the different sways exerted on those country girls from the conservative Ireland in the 1950´s-1960´s, examining how Irish women tackled their own personal growth and the construction of a distinctive identity. With a detailed picture of Ireland´s historical context, the conservative patriarchal post-independence culture and the religious society founded on Catholic moral codes, we aim to demonstrate how our origins and surrounding environment leave a lasting mark on individuals. Through a close examination of the Trilogy female characters´ selves we will attempt to decode O´Brien´s great influence on forthcoming changes in Irish society.
