In Playboy of the Western World by J.M. Synge what are some characteristics or moments that would invoke a violent reaction in todays culture?

I haven't read this, but I should think that news of someone admitting to having killed his father would provoke strong reaction.

You'll have to decide, though. I take it you have read this work.

Answer 2

Yep I have read it, I would say that's the most significant characteristic for violent reactions, I'm having trouble locating more in the book besides that. Thanks
