        <description><![CDATA[The thinness of the line between tragedy and comedy can be seen in relation to &quot;The Playboy of the Western World&quot;  in several ways. First, if you had to reduce the definitions to the most basic level, a tragedy ends badly and a comedy well. Well, the play does not end badly for everyone. Christy Mahon exits smiling, even if he says, &quot; I am crazy again!&quot; What's more, his position in his community fundamentally changes...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA['Playboy' actually means 'liar' or just person who makes up something.  Widow Quin gives Christy that name when she finds out his father is still alive, because she found out about the mascarade.Hope that's the answer you were looking for. Good luck!]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Well i think that the words have different meanings from different times.  When the villagers call Christy, "the playboy of the western world" they were championing him for his bravery in killing his father.  In today's world, that wouldn't fit our current definintion of a playboy.  What Christy becomes, in the middle of the play, however, does pretty much fit our definintion.  He has ladies after him, he devotes all of his time to leisure and...]]></description>
