MAURICE HARTE
"T* M-AURICE HARTE" portrays the
^k /|| most sinister force which holds the
^r Irish people in awe that heaviest
-^- -^-of all bondage, priestcraft.
Michael Harte, his wife Ellen, and their son
Owen are bent on one purpose; to make a priest
of their youngest child Maurice. The mother es
pecially has no other ambition in life than to see
her son
"
priested." No higher ideal to most
Catholic mothers than to consecrate their favorite
son to the glory of God.
What it has cost the Hartes to attain their am
bition and hope is revealed by Ellen Harte in the
conversation with her sister and later with her
husband, when he informs her that he cannot bor
row any more money to continue the boy in the
seminary.
Mrs. Harte. If Michael and myself have our son
nearly a priest this day, tis no small price at all we have
paid for it. ... Isn t it the terrible thing, every time you
look through that window, to have the fear in your heart
