The Second Coming
The Second Coming
In The Second Coming by William Butler Yeats, obedience is required for a society to function. If there were no structure or order in the world, nothing would exist and the foundation of society will collapse. If society is nonexistence, people will act only in their self-interest and without rules or regulations there will be chaos. In the first stanza, the poem describes the falcon as mankind and how mankind has move so far away from its roots and it can no longer call out to its creators. For that reason, mankind has lost touch and communication with its keeper. Reasons were also lost, all there’s left is the sins that has been sinned, the innocence drowned and what’s left is the lack of conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity. The poem also described how the fallen anarchy has loosened the world and it’s Centre which can no longer hold. The lost of anarchy has created a lack of obedience and authority. The world is going through a mess and everything that used to hold its place has now lost its virtue and values. The purpose of beliefs, ideas, and priorities were also lost and can no longer be regained. Everything has fallen into a bottomless pit black hole. Also, in the second stanza, the poem focuses on the vast image of Spiritus Mundi. It is a shape with lion body and the head of a man, a gaze blink and pitiless as the sun also represent the true form of mankind. Normally lions are dangerous to humans. They symbolize pride and power. Mankind has shape shifted and has became the powerful and aggressive beast because the dignity of mankind is lost and what’s left is the deliberate caused of terminal damages in
