colonization
(slide 1) Hello everyone
I'm ….. we are gonna talk about an interesting topic which is Decolonization in Yeats' poems
The first thing that comes to our mind after hearing Yeats' name is the word decolonization
Before we're gonna talk about him , there're some details about the Irish literature in general .
Also, in our presentation we selected the important points because all these points if we take them individually we'll not finish 
(slide 2) So, If you look at this sentence , the main idea about our topic will be clear in front of you
The Irish give us this impression through their works of art and their fighting for their identity .Literature reflects cultures ,so through literature you can discover a large nation like the Irish .
(slide 3) here , an Irish man is represented through these pictures
A green long hat, clover plant and potatoes . All these objects discussed in Yeats' poems .
(slide 4) Yeats is considered one of the known figure in Literature especially in poetry.
(slide 5) There are many versions of William Butler Yeats. Yeats as a poet , dramatist ,critic ,nationalist and postcolonialist.
(slide 6) He is a writer who devoted himself to building Irish culture and literature, Yeats’s position as a postcolonial figure seems obvious.
(slide 7) Yeats was a poet of decolonization, a muse expressing the Irish experience of the dominant colonial power of Britain. Rather than reading Yeats’s poetry from the conventional perspective of high European modernism
Said explains that “he appears to me, and I am sure many others in the Third World, to belong naturally to the other cultural domain”
(slide 8) Then, we can't talk about something without materialistic proves like an example from Yeats' poems
(slide 9) this poem is (The Fisherman) In this poem, Yeats presents the ideal Irish man .He wants to remind the Irish people of their cultures and figures . Some critics said that he wants to illustrate a model to the Irish people to follow

    The novel Sula, is a work which contrasts the lives of its two main characters Nel and Sula. They appear, on the surface, to be the epidemy of binary opposites but this is in actuality their underlying bond. The differences in their personalities complement one another in a way that forges an almost unbreakable alliance. Sula is compulsive and uncontrollable while her counterpart, Nel, is sensible and principled. To prove Nel human by subscribing to the theory that a human is one who possess both good and bad traits, one must only look at how she interacts with Sula, here both negative and positive traits are evident.Nel's "good" traits obviously come to the forefront when looking at her character. One might say this is a result of how she was raised and that she was simply a product of her environment. Nel's parents married out of convenience rather than love and Nel was raised in a household of "oppressive neatness" (page 29). Nel's mother Helene played a large role in establishing her positive attitude and calm demeanor. "Under Helene's hand the girl became obedient and polite. Any enthusiasms that little Nel showed were calmed by the mother until she drove her daughter's imagination underground."(Page 18) Although this would seem lead to an extremely sad existence, it was exactly this kind of environment that lead to Nel's calm and reasonable disposition.Nel's "bad" traits are as well hidden as her "good traits are evident. If there were one action in particular that might blemish the otherwise flawless character of Nel it would be her selfish behavior. This behavior is seen when Nel attempts to recreate the relationship that she and Sula share with someone else, instead of maintaining her relationship with Sula. Now instead of Nel and Sula joined to make one person, Nel and Jude "together would make one Jude." (Page 83) Another of Nel's negative qualities was how dependent she was on what other thought of her. The only reason Nel ended her relationship with…

    Conflict is the basis of all human interaction and hence is an integral part of human life. Through ambiguous yet comprehensive treatment of conflict W. B. Yeats has ensured that his works stand the test of time and hence have remained ‘classics’ today. Through my critical study I have recognised that Yeats’ poems Easter 1916 and The Second Coming are no exception. Yeats’ poetic form, language and use of poetic techniques; such as juxtaposition, allusion, and extended metaphors, alert audiences to both the inner and physical conflict that are the foundations of both poems. It is through this treatment of conflict that supplies audiences with the ability to individualise the reading and hence engage a broad range of audiences despite their unique contexts throughout time.…

    Yeat’s pursuit to retain permanence for age and love, and the cultural impacts of the Irish revolution around him are the universal tensions and desires reflected in his poetry. “The Wild Swan’s at Coole” and “Easter 1916” unifies the understanding of life complexities and also its contradictions; the “beauty” of life, yet still the cruel existence of suffering. Yeat’s poetry, intends to release emotions beyond earthly bounds and provides insight of relating as a human being, and ultimately leaving behind a legacy, his art, to underpin the importance of desire.…

    If consent is not properly introduced or informed then it is not valid to use. In order to consent to a set procedure, the patient must be aware of the situation. This authorizes doctors access to their body and do what they must. Without permission the doctors have no right to treat a subject, if they do so it is illegal and a sign of medical malpractice and negligence. Consent can only be liable if and when the patient is fully informed of all conditions and has provided proof of consent. Sometimes patients consent to a set plan but later revoke their involvement due to further analysis. They have this right and can pull out of any contracts at anytime they feel comfortable or have cold feet about the situation. If a patient is unauthorizedly…

    Each of Joyce’s major works takes place in or near Dublin, the city of his birth and residence until entering a period of self-exile after being “dissatisfied … with Irish nationalism, Catholicism, and his family background” in 1902 (“Biography of James Joyce” 10). Joyce’s works received mixed reviews. After publishing his first novel, A Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man, Joyce received praise from renowned authors, poets and critics such as Ezra Pound, who proclaimed that Joyce was undoubtedly one of the “best contemporary authors” of his generation (Pound 123). Recurring themes and subjects in Joyce’s works incorporated religion in Ireland and the Home Rule movement, the struggle for Irish independence from the United Kingdom (Monahan 280). Joyce used Dublin as his setting to be able to artistically express life in Ireland. This decision would also bring him negative criticism. Critics not familiar with life in Dublin and Joyce’s technique of vividly documenting odors and tastes were aghast at the unpleasant scenes in his novels and short stories (Kershner). However those who complained of Joyce’s improprieties were far outnumbered by critics and readers who knew immediately that his novels would be permanent.…

    Throughout many of his poems, W.B Yeats portrayed important aspects of Ireland’s history especially around the 1900’s when Ireland was fighting for independence. During this time, Ireland was going through an agonizing time of struggle. The Employers’ Federation decided to lock out their workers in order to break their resistance. By the end of September, 25,000 workers were said to have been affected. Although the employers’ actions were widely condemned, they refused to consider negotiation or compromise with the Union. His readers are able to see how Yeats reflects the political, cultural, and societal atmosphere in Ireland during the early 1900’s. The poems September 1913 and Easter 1916 both reflect the political, cultural, and societal atmospheres that were found in Ireland around the 1900’s.…
