Key learning points: - ‘Storm on the Island’ can be read as a poem about the power of nature on the Aran Islands. - Heaney may have been influenced by the conflict between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland. - ‘Storm on the Island’ was published in 1996, when the IRA were carrying out military operations in Northern Ireland. - The storm can be read as an extended metaphor for ‘The Troubles’. - 'The Troubles' refers to a violent thirty-year civil conflict in Ireland which led to around 3,500 deaths.\n
