In this paper, I aim to explore the ways in which Brian Friel, in representing the Irish diaspora through the individual experiences of Cass in The Loves of Cass McGuire (1966), addresses the spatial issues of the diasporic experiences of Irish women, especially the home of displacement in Ireland and the home of placement outside Ireland. Two versions and conceptualizations of home embodied respectively by the Irish patriarch at home and the migrant woman away from home confront with each other upon the return migration of the latter in this play. Therefore, The Loves of Cass McGuire stages intricate negotiations between the nationalized imaginary of home and the gendered identity of Irish women. Furthermore, as shown in this play, home not only is a private haven of homeliness but also becomes a public site of political contestation and identity formation. An unhomely/uncanny presence, returned women migrants, like Cass, eventually lapse into physical, psychological and social homelessness, and are forced to construct a homely home of their own away from the home of origin
