본문내용

The poem "The Second Coming" written by Yeats shows the speaker's perception that The Second Coming is just the beginning of another chaos, not salvation. “The Second Coming” shows that even after the contemporary despair, the Second Coming in the future is not a rescue, but mere another chaos. Yeats effectively delivers this idea by frequent symbolism, negative dictions and alliteration. He remarkably uses numerous negative dictions, which keep strengthens the negative atmosphere of the poem.

< 중 략 >

At last, Yeats tells that the contemporary world is already devastated, but the future with ‘The Second Coming’ is also a chaos threatened by the beast of power. Moreover, what is worse, this chaos will be repeated over and over again. As the first line 'Turning and Turning in the Widening Gyre'(1) suggests, the world revolves. ‘Gyre’ is Yeats's term for a cycle of history. And as the line 'That twenty centuries of stony sleep / Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle' (19-20) shows, reality is a nightmare occurred by a rocking cradle.
