Self-Realization in Yeats' An Irish Airman Foresees His Death

To celebrate the battle on the Italian front during the First World War on 23 January 1918, the Irish pilot is predicting his death written by William Butler Yeats. It was killed by Robert Gregory Major (Ellmann and O'Clair, fn.154). Yeats has a close relationship with the Gregory family, but it is closely related to Gregory Lady, which in particular establishes the Irish National Theater. Although Gregory major is not explicitly mentioned in this poem, it is widely believed that the pilot in this poem should be him (Stock 118).

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 has little meaning in a grand plan. "The balance between waste / life behind these years, this death."

Yeats expressed a strong political passion for Ireland in the first half of the 20th century and in his work conveyed the adverse effects of British political repression against Ireland. The Irish pilot foresees his death (1919), meditation (1921), Irish nationalists and political activists - political prisoners (1921). ), Eva Gorbus and Conmigce (1933), and Easter Rebellion - Easter '1916' (1916)

Yeats believes that art and politics are inherently interrelated and expresses his attitude towards Irish politics and uses his work to educate readers about Irish cultural history. Yeats felt a deep connection with Ireland and the identity of that country from a young age, and British rule thought that Ireland's political and social life would be adversely affected. His early poems celebrated Irish countryside beauty and mystery, his early compilation of folk literature tried to teach the history of literature deprived by British rule. This work is often combined with myths and mythological characters, including Oisin and Cuturein. As Yeats increasingly participates in Irish politics - through his relationship with the Irish National Theater, the Irish Literary Society, the Republic of Ireland and the mode gone - his poetry is becoming increasingly political declaration
