    The Tension Displayed in W.B Yeats’ Poetry When one hears the name ‘Yeats’‚ one most likely thinks of the man many consider to be Ireland’s greatest ever poet. However‚ if you were to ask these poets to discuss their favourite aspects of his poetry‚ I am sure that the response would amount to little more than some ‘umming’ and ‘errring’ and the occasional ‘his alliteration’ from those who remember their days at school. I must admit‚ I was the same before I began studying his work. Now‚ however

    A personal response to the poetry of W.B Yeats In my opinion W.B Yeats is one of Ireland’s greatest poets.

    To Yeats‚ his ideas of the Irish politics of his time were never far from his modernist poems. He makes the political world seem a place of passion and contradictions‚ like art‚ requiring of us not to understand history in moral terms‚ such as “good and bad” but‚ rather‚ in seemingly emotionally artistic terms‚ like “pity” or “terror.” For example‚ in the poem‚ “Easter 1916‚” Yeats fixes on the horror and captivation of the considerably devastating event of the Irish uprising. In the first stanza

    Redemption‚ directed by Frank Darabont‚ uses recurring symbols to convey the main theme of different types of Freedom. Darabont uses the bible and hammer to convey the idea of freedom and salvation by creating relations to biblical events.

The hope of freedom that is felt by the inmates is conveyed to the audience through the clever use of music and symbols of music throughout

    The poems‚ "The Wild Swans at Coole" and "The Great Scarf of Birds‚" unconsciously play off one another. Yeats and Updike paint similar pictures about similar topics. Although these poems consist of similar subjects‚ the authors’ diction and details are at completely different ends of the poetry spectrum. William Butler Yeats’ poem "The Wild Swans at Coole" tells of a man who‚ in the autumn‚ would visit this pool of water that was a resting place for a flock of swans. He visits them one
