That woman: Constance – before the revolution she was beautiful, after she became an ugly person- destroyed her beauty both inside and outside.
This man: Pearse- he had a school and was a master- metaphor (rode our winged horse): power
This other: MacDonagh: teacher- sensitive and positive thoughts
This other man: MacBride. Yeats hated him but wanted to celebrate him. MacBride was executed
Life in Dublin
Superficial relationships before the revolution, only fun and comedy-like
The revolution changes everything (refrain) – a terrible beauty is born : positive and negative aspects
(Never use of past simple)
Moral of the poem
Rhetorical questions – Yeats conveys his doubts
Was it worth it? – Yeats wonders about the price of Easter Rising
No answer to the horrors – terrible beauty is born
Vision of Ireland- idillic land and figures(animals)
Sense of movement and change
Full of metaphors
