Earticle

From the 19th century, British cartoons and writings suggested some verbal and visual representations of Irish people as childlike or childish in order to justify their colonial logic. Richard Haslam contends that “a damaged child” represents Ireland and examines this idea in post-independence Irish fiction, popular culture, and cultural theory. Patrick McCabe chose the same topic of a damaged child in his novel, The Butcher Boy. The protagonist, Francie Brady, is an only child from a dysfunctional Irish family, which is stereotyped by British colonialism. The novel is mainly set in a small town in early 1960's Ireland. After Mrs Nugent, an allegory of British colonialist, fixed the stigma, PIG, upon his family, 12 year old Francie went insane, and finally slaughtered Mrs Nugent in the way of killing pigs. In the novel, Francie's narrative as he descends into madness, which might not be understood from a common person's perspective, reveals the landscape of neocolonial Ireland. Though the early 1960s was significant in establishing a new, modernized Ireland, McCabe alludes to us the dark side of this period in Irish history through both individual and communal madness.
