Na Carachtair: Lisín (Leaving Cert Irish): Revision Notes

Na Carachtair: Lisín

• Is í Lisín príomh-charactar. Tugtar léargas cuimsitheach, spéisiúil dúinn ar a carachtar agus an saol atá aici.
  • Lisín is the main character. We are given a comprehensive, interesting insight into her character and the life that she has.
• Is léir gur bean foirfe í. Tá a fear chéile saibhir, tá na comharsana go léir in éad leí agus bíonn sí fíor gnóthach an t-am ar fad.
  • It's clear that she is a perfect woman. Her husband is rich, all of her neighbours are jealous of her and she is always extremely busy.

• Tá sí ina ball de an chuid clubanna agus eagraíochtaí. Freisin, tá sí álainn, galánta agus bíonn sí gléasta suas i gcónaí.
  • She is a member of many clubs and organisations. Also, she is beautiful, elegant and she is always dressed up.
• Is léir gur duine gnóthach, eagraithe í. Bhí sí ag ullmhú cóisire chun an fiche bliain a cheiliúradh. Bhí gach rud in ord agus in eagar aici sa teach.
  • It is clear that she is a busy, organised person. She was organising a party to celebrate her twentieth wedding anniversary. She had organised everything in the house in order.

• Is duine éadomhain í. Cuireann sí béim ar earraí, sónna an tsaoil agus ar ábharachas. Dá bhrí sin, tá saol clainne ag creimeadh faoin a cosa, i ngan fhios di.
  • She is a shallow person. She puts emphasis on physical goods, the luxuries of life and materialism. There is a lot of emphasis on the luxuries of life and materialism. Therefore, her family life is eroding under her feet, without her knowing it.
• Feicimid nach dtuigeann sí meon a mic, Ruán. Níl sé ag tnúth leis an gcóisir, ach ní fheiceann Lisín é sin. Tá grá aige do Lisín, ach cuireann sí lagmhisneach air.
  • We see that she does not understand the mood of her son, Ruán. He is not looking forwards to the party, but Lisín does not see that. He loves Lisín, but she discourages him.

• Nuair a bhuail sí le Pól, bhí sé mí-aibí agus aineolach. Bhí sé ag obair i siopa. Ach anois, is duine rathúil, saibhir é. Oibríonn sé mar léactóir anois agus tá a mhaoin déanta aige trí infheistíocht chliste sna stocmhargaí.
  • When she met Pól, he was immature and innocent. He was working in a shop. But now, he is a successful, rich person. He works as a lecturer now, and he has made his fortune through clear investments in the stock markets
• Creideann Lisín go bhfuil sí freagrach as seo. Creideann sí go bhfuil éacht bainte amach aici ina saol.
  • Lisín believes that she is responsible for this. She believes that she has achieved great success in her life.
• Is bean bhaothghalánta, chaol-aigeanta í a chuireann barríocht béime ar rachmas. Tá sí claonta chomh maith, mar shíl sí go raibh Eibhlín Ní Loinisigh aisteach mar nach raibh a cuid gruaige fionn.
  • She is a clean-cut, narrow minded woman who overemphasises wealth. She is biassed as well, as she thought that Eibhlín Ní Loinisigh was strange because her hair was not blonde.
• Is duine údarásch í freisin. Tuigimid go bhfuil sí i gceannas ar na hullmhúcháin don chóisir.
  • She is also an authoritative person. We understand that she is in charge of organising the party.
