Ultimately, how you answer this question is up to you.
What do you like about Mahon? What about him makes you identify with him? Does he make
you laugh? Cry? Does he help you recognize something about yourself or others you
know?
Is his willingness to accept credit for a morbid
deed, then his cowardice when his father shows up, comparable to your experience in the
world? Is this an accurate critique of machismo and morbidity, not only in the
character of the Playboy, but also in the townspeople, as
well?
Personally, I love the play much more than the
character of the Playboy, himself. I see his representation as a critique of society.
But that may be completely different for you.
