STEP 3 SO LIST THE REASONS WHY THE TWO COMMUNITIES RESENTED EACH OTHER

 The two communties are divided  because of their religion

They despise ( to despise = mépriser) and fear each other so they spread prejudices/ false runours/ false accusation about each other.

they have preconceived ideas = prejudices about each other.

They are split by their nationalities: one is irish the other is british although they live in the same country and they have a British passport.

 

They don’t have the same religion

They are at each other’s throat because they believe they do not have the same nationality

The Brititish took away / conquered their country and their land  because of  william of orange in the battle of the boyne in the 16 th century

Catholics were second class citizens : they were prejudiced against .

Ctaholics could not get access to well-paid jobs which were mostly reserved for protestants.

Thus Catholics were likely to be poor and live in the miserable circumstances .

Many were unemployed.

The catholics were thus discriminated against in their own country .

Moreover marriage and relationships were forbidden between Catholics and protestants so changing mentalities proved difficult.

MOREVER THEY HAVE A LANGUAGE IN COMMON .

BUT THEIR RELATION IS BITTER BECAUSE OF THEIR PAST HISTORY AND THE CATHOLICS' RESENTMENT AT THE WAY THEY WERE UNFAIRLY TREATED BY THE PROTESTANTS.
