The main purpose of this paper is to explore in what way Yeats’s drama On Baile’s Strand is interconnected with the centuries-old process of transformation of a well-known Irish legend “The Only Son of Aoife.” To trace the history of its transformation leads us to recognize the significance of the theme of conflict between the natural and the unnatural. Yeats explores this theme by adding the motif of the supernatural being rooted in profound natural impulse. On Baile’s Strand demonstrates that the dismissal of human nature goes hand in hand with the withdrawal of the supernatural, while, at the same time, the disrespect for the supernatural involves the danger of cutting off the power of our deep natural instinct.
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to explore in what way Yeats’s drama On Baile’s Strand is interconnected with the centuries-old process of transformation of a well-known Irish legend “The Only Son of Aoife.” To trace the history of its transformation leads us to recognize the significance of the theme of conflict between the natural and the unnatural. Yeats explores this theme by adding the motif of the supernatural being rooted in profound natural impulse. On Baile’s Strand demonstrates that the dismissal of human nature goes hand in hand with the withdrawal of the supernatural, while, at the same time, the disrespect for the supernatural involves the danger of cutting off the power of our deep natural instinct.
