Comments: A good scene for two actors. It offers the opportunity<br />
to use accent, movement and mimicry. This scene establishes the<br />
relationship between the young lovers, Mag and Joe. We see the<br />
contrast in their personalities and gain an insight into their<br />
predicament. Mag is pregnant. Both she and Joe have been<br />
expelled from school. They meet on the top of Ardnageeha to<br />
study for their final exams which they have been allowed to sit<br />
despite the disgrace that they have brought upon themselves. We<br />
are introduced to their oppressors: the Church, their teachers,<br />
their parents, and the people who live in their straightlaced<br />
community.<br />
