초록
Yeats’s poetic drama is not just “remote, spiritual and ideal.” His is dramatic with its form changed, transforming the audience’s experience of the play. The theatre becomes a mystical experience: a union between actor, spectator, and dramatist, which helps them reach transcendence beyond individual stories. I examine the dramaturgy in his play The Only Jealousy of Emer. First, my essay analyzes the complex system of mise en abime which mirrors the experience of the spectator. Then, it attempts to interpret Cuchulain’s dream, his almost complete union with Fand, at the core of the system, as an image of the spectator’s own mystical experience. My essay shows how Yeats presents what an ideal spectator should experience in his plays and how he tries to emulate the spectator’s reaction he is hoping for.
Abstract
Yeats’s poetic drama is not just “remote, spiritual and ideal.” His is dramatic with its form changed, transforming the audience’s experience of the play. The theatre becomes a mystical experience: a union between actor, spectator, and dramatist, which helps them reach transcendence beyond individual stories. I examine the dramaturgy in his play The Only Jealousy of Emer. First, my essay analyzes the complex system of mise en abime which mirrors the experience of the spectator. Then, it attempts to interpret Cuchulain’s dream, his almost complete union with Fand, at the core of the system, as an image of the spectator’s own mystical experience. My essay shows how Yeats presents what an ideal spectator should experience in his plays and how he tries to emulate the spectator’s reaction he is hoping for.
