This essay examines W. B. Yeats’s Purgatory in light of the concepts of Won (grievance) and Han (resentment) in Daesoon Thought. The play dramatizes the destructive cycle of inherited guilt through the Old Man’s futile attempt to redeem his mother’s soul, an effort that only perpetuates further tragedy. Drawing on A Vision, Yeats suggests that liberation from such cycles may be achieved only through an integrated resolution rather than through violent human action. In a comparative perspective, Daesoon Thought introduces the principle of Haewon-sangsaeng (Resolution of Grievances for Mutual Beneficence) as a constructive path to reconciliation. By relating Yeats’s notion of “Unity of Being” to this doctrine, the essay argues that while Yeats remains the central focus, both visions converge in their aspiration to transcend cyclical conflict, thereby illuminating the interplay between literary imagination and spiritual philosophy.
