초록
The Dreaming of The Bones (1917) is one of the two political plays Yeats had written in his life−the other being Cathleen ni Houlihan (1902). It is also a new poetic drama, along with three other dance dramas, the form of which Yeats newly invented, inspired by Japanese Noh drama. The plot is simple: the spirits of two lovers cannot kiss each other because of their transgression of betrayal to their country 700 years ago; they wish to be purged of their sins by a young man. He joined the Easter Rising and is now on the run. Mesmerized by their story, he almost gives in to forgive them, but does not. The lovers will be trapped in purgatory forever. This essay discusses the dynamics of the play, in particular, the roles the Three Musicians play in the drama.
