초록
In Yeats’s literary corpus, a recurring motif involves the juxtaposition of contrasting ideologies and philosophical outlooks through dialogue between characters, as evidenced in poems like “Shepherd and Goatherd,” “Ego Dominus Tuus,” and “A Dialogue of Self and Soul.” This study aims to explore the divergent pursuits of two central figures in some of Yeats’s poems, such as Hic and Ille in “Ego Dominus Tuus,” and My Self and My Soul in “A Dialogue of Self and Soul.” While Ille gravitates towards the realms of image and imagination, prioritizing abstract concepts over material reality, My Self is depicted as more grounded, emphasizing tangible existence and materialism. In “Among School Children,” Yeats strikes a balance between Hic and My Soul, emphasizing the harmony between spirit and body. This dualistic position underscores the significance of integrating existence, as Yeats puts it, “Unity of Being.” Through a comparative analysis of these conflicting perspectives, this study seeks to gain deeper insights into Yeats’s personal philosophical inclinations and artistic intentions, as well as the influences on Yeats’s philosophical beliefs. Ultimately, this inquiry into the conflicting positions articulated by Ille and My Self aims to elucidate the philosophical underpinnings guiding Yeats’s creative endeavors and existential inquiries.
