Acceptance of Death in Yeats’s ‘An Irish Airman Foresees his Death’ and Shakespeare’s ‘Come Away, Come Away, Death’

The lecture appealed for death so that he could rest in peace. Even in Yeats' poetry, the consciousness of death at the beginning of the poem is expressed as "I know to fill my destiny somewhere in the upper clouds" (1, 2). Contrary to poetry, Yeats' speaker accepts death in war. "Somewhere on the clouds" (2) is a metaphor of death in the battle of the sky. Cruel death in war.

The pilot's living in Yeats 'Irish pilot foresee his death' comes from the "lonely happy urge" that felt during flight. His current career is due to the true compatibility with the government's next compulsion. "I do not dislike those who fight, I do not love those who keep them." The position of the pilot is very clear. The government he had ruled allowed him to fight with a career he did not support. He considers himself a worthless pawn, and his life is not very meaningful in the Grand Plan, but this is an ambitious plan he is not allowed to control. "The balance between waste / life behind these years, this death."

In his literary career, Yeats adopted an obvious Irish theme and problem in his work. He comments on Irish politics and indigenous rule movements and uses his writing as a tool to educate and inform people about the history and culture of Ireland. Yeats also used the Irish country background to tell stories and legends of Irish folktales. As he became more involved in nationalist politics, his poetry was patriotic. Yeats deals with Irish political problems in various ways. Sometimes his statement is a clear political commentary such as "Irish Airhead foresees his death". "The Easter Festival of 1916" and "Memorial of Eva Goa Booth and Con Malkiquiqi" tells stories of individuals and events related to Irish nationalistic politics. concept
