Talk:The Butcher Boy (novel)

=Chagrin=

I am not sure if the following comment is appropriate: The film has yet to be released on DVD, much to the chagrin of its fans. I would have optioned to remove it but kept it in instead. MarkBeer 07:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

=DVD= Someone should note that the DVD has a planned release for a February 13, 2006 date.

Book/Film
I would split the two into different articles. There are some slight differences between the two (the father's name, etc.), plus there should be a cast listing for the film and links, like to IMDB, for it.

An Allegory of English/Irish Relations
This novel is an allegory describing the negative effects of the oppression of the Irish people by the English over the past several centuries. The Nugents, an Irish family who "used to live in London", represent the English. The Bradys represent the Irish. Mrs. Nugent's insults and arrogance ("Pigs- sure the whole town knows that!") ruin the lives of all of the Bradys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.169.73.248 (talk) 15:10, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
