The imagery of Donn Cualnge
The author's description of the bull called Donn Cualnge aids readers in comparing it to the bull Ailill. Donn is the powerful bull owned by the Queen's former husband, and she also wants to acquire a more powerful bull. The author writes, "Now her herald macRoth had told her that Dare MacFiachna, a landowner of Cualnge, a territory of her former husband, possessed an even more wonderful bull that Ailill’s called Donn Cualnge, the ‘The Brown Bull of Cualnge.’ So, she dispatched macRoth to Dare to pray for the loan of the bull.”
The marching of the army
The portrayal of the Queen's army's strategic move to conquer the enemy depicts the sense of sight to readers. The author writes, “They crossed the Shannon Athlone and, marching through the province of Meath, arrived at the borders of Cualnge.”
The imagery of hearing
The bellowing of the Brown Bull as it is being taken to Connacht depicts the sense of hearing to readers. The author writes, "On the way back to Connacht, the Brown Bull of Cualnge emitted such a terrible bellowing that they reached the ears of the Whitehorn remaining at home in his stall in Cruachan."
The battle between the bulls
The description of the two bull's end enables the reader to see why they both died. The author writes, "A furious battle took place between the bulls, but the Brown was the stronger and raising his rival on his horns, he shook the Whitehorned into fragments over all Ireland. He then returned in a fury to Ulster, and in his wild rage, dashed his head against a rock and was killed."
