이 논문은 1916년의 부활절 봉기 이후에 쓰인 극작품 2편을 읽는다. 이 두 희곡은 그의 시에서 “모든 게 변했네”라는 주장을 수정하고 대신 혁명 후의 현재 의 상흔의 끈질김을 극화한다.

영어 초록

This article looks at two plays written after “Easter, 1916”; I argue that these plays revise the earlier poem’s claim that “all [is] changed” and dramatise instead the persistence of past wounds and blemishes in the post-revolutionary present. In The Dreaming of the Bones, a young rebel who has just been fighting in the Rising is hiding from the police on the West coast of Ireland, where he encounters the ghosts of Diarmuid and Dervorgilla, whose betrayal, he says, “brought the Norman in” and thus started the colonisation of Ireland. Calvary (written in 1920, but never performed in Yeats’s lifetime) is an unorthodox Passion play, dramatising Christ’s “dreaming back” of his own Passion on Good Friday, as he is confronted by the ghosts of Lazarus, Judas and the three Roman soldiers who nailed him to the Cross. Although it is ostensibly unrelated to the Easter Rising, it reads as an ironic yet compassionate comment on the Passion play that the Easter Rising, at one level, replayed.
