Freedom_Of_The_City

Freedom Of The City Freedom of the city is a play about civil rights. I disagree with the above statement. I believe the oppressors are the only ones who are guilty of distorting the truth. To be oppressed means to be demoralized victimized and harassed and bullied. The key word here is victim. How can one be guilty of distorting the truth if they are a victim' Oppressor means to be the one who is an absolute ruler, especially one who is harsh and oppressive. Therefore I do not agree with the above statement as I think only the oppressor in this play are responsible of distorting the truth. In Freedom of the city we are given many examples of the oppressors distorting the truth. Liam O’Kelly is a clear oppressor when it is know to us as an audience that there is only three people occupying the Guildhall Liam O’Kelly distorts which means To give an inaccurate view of by representing falsely or misleadingly.
