Maime Character in 'The Field' by John B. Keane

Maime is married to Mick, has nine children and is not happy with her lot.  She almost has to beg her husband to be allowed to leave the house and have her hair done.  She needs his permission before she can leave. She is afraid of The Bull and keeps safely behind the counter in the bar when he arrives.  She is not abouve being flattered by Bird and is quite vain.

Meet Mick: He is one of the characters from 'The Field', by John B. Keane

Here is Mick. He only washes once a year, treats his wife and children cruelly and is quite selfish. He owns a bar and is also an auctioneer. Some people think he is honest, but he is not above fixing an auntion if he can earn some extra money out of the deal.

This is what happens when the Bull comes into the pub and threatens Mick not to publicise the sale of the field. Mick doesn not put up too much of a fight once he is promised his commission.  He is not an honest man after all.
