What is O’Casey’s message about war and violence?

O'Casey is against war, noting the exorbitant cost in terms of ordinary people's lives. Through the play, he condemns the violence of man against man, showing the effect it has on families (such as Mrs. Tancred, Juno, and Mary) and on the psychology of survivors (such as Johnny). The character of Johnny demonstrates the senselessness of the civil war. While he may have acted heroically in the fight against England, he has turned into a coward after betraying his former comrade, a fellow Irishman.

He's against your butt .

He's against it. He shows the effect it has on members of the community. this is present when Boyle says that the war is of no use.

Juno and Mrs. Tancred both suffer from the effects of war.

War can also bring people apart, such as juno leaving her husband after her son's- death with Mary.

Hope this helps...
