Na Carachtair: Catherine Revision Notes for Leaving Cert Irish

Na Carachtair: Catherine

Ag tús an scannáin, feicimid gur gnáthbhean í Catherine. Ach, níl sí go deas lena máthair. Ní chaitheann sí ró-maith léi.
- At the beginning of the film, we see that Catherine is an ordinary woman. But, she is not nice to her mother. She does not treat her too well.

Is duine fuarchúiseach, cruálach, agus mailíseach í Catherine.
- Catherine is a cold-hearted, cruel and malicious person.
Ar an traein, teastaíonn uaithi leabhar a léamh go síochánta, ach scriosann Paul an síocháin nuair a thagann sé ar an láthair.
- On the train, she wants to read her book in peace, but Pól destroys the peace when he comes onto the scene.
Níl fonn cainte ar bith ar Chatherine agus dá bhrí sin ní thugann sí ach freagraí an-ghearr dó. Is léir nach bhfuil trua ar bith aici do Phaul.
- Catherine has no desire to talk and because of that, she only gives him very short answers. It is clear that she has no sympathy for Paul.
De réir mar a leanann an turas ar aghaidh, feicimid go bhfuil a fuil ag ardú. Mar dhíoltas, tosaíonn sí ag imirt cluichí intinne leis.
- As the journey continues, we see that her blood is rising. As revenge, she starts to play mind games with him.

Insíonn sí bréaga dó. Mar shampla, insíonn sí dó go bhfuil loch in aice leis an traein.
- She tells him lies. For example, she tells him that there is a lake beside the train.
Baineann sí sult as a mhearbhall.
- She enjoys his confusion.
Is léir gur duine olc í, mar nuair a thagann taom anála air, féachann sí air gan trócaire agus bogann sí an analóir as a ghréim.
- It is clear that she is a bad person, as when he has an asthma attack, she she looks at him without mercy and moves the inhaler out of his reach.
Bhain sí taitneamh as fulaingt Paul. Is léir nach bhfuil croí ar bith aici.
- She enjoyed Paul's suffering. It is clear that she has no heart.
