Hi,
Francoise hat es satt, dass sie immer nach den Irischen Regeln leben muss. Sie will sich jetzt scheiden lassen und nach Frankreich zurück. Ihr Mann spielt aber den konservativen Iren und will sie aufhalten. Beide streiten sich (blablablablablabla - Dialog) und ihrem Ehemann rutscht die Hand aus.
Francoise rennt weinend weg. Er bleibt erst fassungslos stehen und bereut seine Tat. Dann beschließt er sie aufzusuchen und findet sie schluchzend am uns bereits bekannten See. Er umarmt sie und sagt ihr, dass es ihm Leid tut blablablablabla und immer so weiter. Er schlägt vor, dass er mit ihr nach Frankreich geht und nicht mehr so streng mit ihr ist blblbl(Dialog)
Zum schluss kommt noch "I love you - I love you, too" und Happy End
Natürlich alles unter klarem Sternenhimmel

Summary
The short story 'An Occasion of Sin', written by John Montague and published in 1963, deals with a young French woman, who moved in Easter '56 to Ireland after she married an Irish man. By confronting with many cultural differences, she gets in trouble. First Francoise O'Meara disliked Ireland but after her husband Kieran bought her a car and allowed her to swim in the sea at Seacove, she started to like the country. Meeting some men at the beach of Seacove, she realises, that they have a strange way of undressing and she feels scared when the men stare at her when she undresses herself. In June, Francoise meets some clerical students and talks about French literature with them. One day a little fat man, she meets at Seacove, tells her, that the clerical students are seduced by her permissiveness and that she's a bad example which hurts the Irish traditions. After this she expresses her thoughts about being an occasion of sin to her husband and realises the strange behaviour of the Irish and the superstition of her husband. Meeting the clerical students again, they ask Francoise different thing, e.g., what it's like to be married, because they have the prejudice, that French woman think about nothing but love. Because of having a nightmare, she decides not to meet the students again. She feels humilated and assumes, that the people might be right in saying that she's a bad example. At the end of the story Francoise knows, she will never see the clerical students again.
Nr.1 Summarize Francoise´s encounters at Seacore:
1) The fat man
2) English couple
3) Inhabitant of Seacore
4) Goggle man
5) Students (often)
6) The fat man
1) –comes, waves and goes swimming
2) –comes to have a picnic and read the newspaper
-they rarely speak and have sad faces
3) -comes to go swimming
4) -he gazes with great interest at her but after she looked at him, he´s very angry
5) -she talks with the students about her the author from the French novel, she is
reading
-she is asked, if she comes from France – she accepts and says that she is married to
an Irishman
-she talks about her life in France
-the meetings between Francoise and the students are a confirmed habit
-they say that France must be a strange country whereupon Francoise is peeved
No. 2: Explain the meaning and significance of the title of the short story.
Occasion of sin = chance of wrongdoing, a situation in which somebody is tempted to sin
- The fat man thinks that Francoise is a potential danger for the clerical students (because they are about to live a life in celibacy). The way the author describes the reactions of the inhabitants of Seacove makes it clear to the reader that they do not like married women meeting (younger) men/soon-to-be priests. Their meetings might create a situation in which the clerical students are tempted to sin (i.e. “an occasion of sin”)
- The husband of Francoise is well aware that in some circumstances she might be seen as an “occasion of sin”.
- The title of the short story shows the context of the story and represents the different traditions of the countries.
- The inhabitants of Seacove only called Francoise an occasion of sin, because their lifestyle and customs (heavily influenced by the system of the Catholic Church) prompt them to think like that about her.
> In France it’s different.
No. 3: Examine the use of language dealing with physicality and sexuality in the story
physicality:
l. 5 : Sometimes it was so cold that her skin was goose- pimpled. ( p.25)
l. 26: She felt like an animal in a cage. (p.26)
l. 39: And of her already browning legs and arms. (p.27)
sexuality:
l.29: her breasts pushing her blouse. (p.24)
l. 4 : There was a brief glimpse of white before a towel was wrapped across the loins. (p. 26)
l.16: undressing on beaches. (p.26)
l. 6 : stepping out of their trousers. (p.27)
l.24: that French woman think about nothing but love. (p.33)
No. 4 a.) Describe the various types of Catholicism that emerge in the story.
strict Catholicism:
- free ( permissive) women aren´t allowed to be near men
- they are prudish
- not enlightened
- strict
- liberal women like Francoise are like prostitutes
- f.e. clerical students [they are in between: on one hand they know what the customs are and on the other they see nothing bad in their encounters with Francoise; they seem to be focused on learning French] and inhabitants
enlightened Catholicism:
- men and women can be near each other
- they are open
- enlightened
- priest are there to help people
- f.e. Francoise, French people
4 b.) Analyse the author´s attitude to Catholicism.
The author describes the Catholicism as a strict and on the other hand as an enlightened Catholicism. The Irish people do not understand a friendship between male and female, but in France it was in this time a normal thing.
The French Catholicism is more modern than the Irish Catholicism.
[Note from teacher; just some food for thought: what do you think is more like the founder of Christianity would have preferred it to develop?].
Nr 5. Imagine you are Francoise and you reflect in your diary on your experiences and you attitude towards Ireland and the Irish.
Dear diary
Now I´ve been in Ireland for a while.
Since I met the clerical students at the beach I´ve finally someone to talk to.
The people here seem to be really nice, but some of them seem a little bit prudish.
I never had thought that the Irish people call me a prostitute just because I take off my clothes and put on my bathing suit on the beach. The way they watch me when I am on the beach embarrasses me. They are gazing in a lustful way which makes me feel like an animal in a cage. People apparently don’t like my talking to the clerical students because they are afraid of my being “an occasion of sin”. I am not even flirting with the boys and have no intention to ever do so. They are just kids, they are like brothers to me. How can the inhabitants accuse me of having the intention of seducing the clerical students? I am more than just a toy to have sex with, also I am an educated woman and interested in more things than that! I know Christian values since I went to a convent myself. I must say I feel oppressed and to seek some help how to deal with this and hearing a voice that understands my feelings, I recently started “La deuxième sexe” by Simone de Beauvoir.
Since my husband bought me a car I´ve seen many nice places here. The landscape is beautiful and it reminds me of home sometimes. Despite the annoyance that I feel about their customs, it´s not as bad at all as I first thought.
