Ready to explore the hidden depths of this iconic poem? Hit that play button and let's uncover the secrets together! 🎥📚
Concepts:
• The Easter Uprising.
• Personal vs Social Views.
• Eulogy.
Themes:
• Senseless Violence.
• Nationalism.
• Endurance.
Techniques:
• Structure: the number of lines in each poem reflects the date: 24/4/16 – there are either 16 or 24 lines in each stanza, and there are
4 stanzas. This connotes Yeats’ awareness that this event is the beginning of history and, therefore, significant.
• The ABAB rhyming pattern works with many near rhymes e.g. “faces” with “houses” which creates a more Modern and solemn sounding voice.
• The repetition of “polite meaningless words”,
the diction “motley” which connotes a fool and “ignorant” to describe Countess Markiewicz, and the alliteration “casual comedy” creates an undercurrent that the violence itself was senseless or pointless.
• Yeats contrasts the personal and the social through his transformation of John Macbride from the accumulation: A drunken, vainglorious lout” to “Transformed utterly / A terrible beauty is born.”
• The metaphor of the rock which through its permanence creates turbulence, and the use of rhetorical questions
e.g. “Was it needless death after all?” question whether or not the uprising really accomplished anything.
• However the use of transient imagery gives the usual assurances of a eulogy, reminding us that life is brief and shows that Yeats is intending to immortalise the leaders of the uprising e.g. “A shadow of cloud on the stream / Changes minute by minute.”
• Endurance is urged by Yeats, rather than further bloodshed; he takes a passive stance via the Classical allusion to Hamlet e.g. “That is Heaven’s part” which says Hamlet should not punish Gertrude through violence, but let heaven punish her.
• Unity and a sense of nationalism are created by the repeated coda “A terrible beauty is born” and the symbol “wherever green is worn” the colour that connotes Irish Catholicism and Irish nationalism.
