초록
Wilde and Yeats, as two most influential dramatists of Modern Irish literature, share not too many things in life, except that they may share a great deal in their philosophy of love, as shown in their works, Salome and The Shadowy Waters. The major characters in both plays show a typical or traditional sense of male behaviorism involving self assured, domineering attitude toward love. In Yeats’s play, Forgael’s attitude is softened as he can resort to magic; in the meantime, in Wilde’s play, the heroine Salome cannot do so, which results in the most brutal and grotesque way a person who is in love can think of. This paper will demonstrate the connection of the two playwrights in their aesthetic approaches to representing love in Salome and The Shadowy Waters.
Abstract
Wilde and Yeats, as two most influential dramatists of Modern Irish literature, share not too many things in life, except that they may share a great deal in their philosophy of love, as shown in their works, Salome and The Shadowy Waters. The major characters in both plays show a typical or traditional sense of male behaviorism involving self assured, domineering attitude toward love. In Yeats’s play, Forgael’s attitude is softened as he can resort to magic; in the meantime, in Wilde’s play, the heroine Salome cannot do so, which results in the most brutal and grotesque way a person who is in love can think of. This paper will demonstrate the connection of the two playwrights in their aesthetic approaches to representing love in Salome and The Shadowy Waters.
