W. B. Yeats’s Poetic Self in His Later Poetry
pp.287-309
The paper is to study the poetic self in Yeats’s later poetry. Yeats dramatizes internal conflicts of the self fighting with the other self. He has not created a single unified image of character in his poetry. He has tried to consciously express the polarity of the self by projecting dual characteristics of being through the poetic self. The poetic self in his poetry is the self who is transformed and developed through the conflict accepting the reality of human nature. Looking over the whole of human life and its prevailing desolation, the poetic self tries to find the proper response to life and suffering in terms of “tragic joy.” The poetic self created by Yeats has got around the conflict through a positive response to life in all its tragic aspects.
