Dublin has a legacy from its past of subjugation and persecut ion , a brooding wistfulness which seems to linger st ill in the grey - faced buildings and in the procession of bridges across its river. Quoted in Cities, John McGreevy

is a city whose inhabitants view life with a mixture of wry humour and a sort of serene fatalism; that the worst is inevitable and must be endured.

It is something of a habit with Dubliners to make a joke of poverty and misfortune. It is a way of showing their fami li arity with both. Whatever his original racial origins, which could be Gaelic or Norman, Danish or Engli sh or Norse, the average Dubliner views life with a mixture of wry humour and a sort of serene fatalism. Perhaps it is due to the history of his native city - a long history of siege, pestilence, invasion , rebellion, slaughter, persecution, and civil war. Whatever the cause, he tends to believe that the worst is inevitable and must be endured. Ibid.
