초록

This study investigates Nietzschean themes in W.B. Yeats’s poetry, highlighting Friedrich Nietzsche’s considerable influence on Yeats’s literary works. Despite their different backgrounds, a comparative analysis reveals parallels that shed light on the existential and philosophical themes in Yeats’s poetry. Beginning with an overview of Nietzsche’s key concepts, including the Will to Power and Eternal Recurrence, this study examines instances of these themes in Yeats’s poetry. Central to this analysis is the exploration of existential struggle, echoing Nietzsche’s emphasis on self-overcoming through the portrayal of the Overman, who maintains detachment even in the face of adversity and death. The examination of Nietzschean concepts in Yeats’s poetry uncovers the significant influence of Nietzsche on philosophical and existential inquiry.
