In keeping with this, he also wants to go to the United States to forget about his past relationship with Kate, who married Dr. In this regard, he’s just as guarded as his father, choosing to run from his emotional troubles instead of being straightforward about how he feels. Because his mother died three days after childbirth, Gar has nobody to turn to for emotional support, and though he’s quite frustrated with his father’s uncommunicative nature, he mostly ignores Private Gar’s attempts to get him to speak openly to S.B. He has decided to leave largely because he’s tired of working in his father’s general store and spending every day with S.B., who shows no emotion or affection toward him. The play takes place on Gar’s last night in Ballybeg, Ireland, as he’s set to travel to the United States the following day to live with his aunt Lizzy and her husband Con, and though he wants to, he can’t bring himself to speak honestly with his father before leaving.
This is especially the case when it comes to his relationship with his father, S.B. Having said that, Public Gar doesn’t always heed Private Gar’s advice, since he is more timid and reserved than Private Gar. In this way, both Public Gar and Private Gar make up the entirety of Gar’s identity, with Public Gar representing his outward appearances and Private Gar representing his conscience and id. However, Public Gar takes cues from Private Gar, often having conversations with him and listening to his suggestions. Public Gar is the version everyone sees and interacts with, the one who actually speaks to others and exists in the real world.
An Irish man in his mid-twenties, Gar is the protagonist of Philadelphia, Here I Come! Split into two characters, Gar has a “Public” and a “Private” persona, who are played by two separate actors.
