Read the excerpt and then answer the question that follows. "Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the
falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world," What does this excerpt from Yeats' “The Second Coming” describe? A. the rebellion against an evil leader
B. the punishment for a crime not committed
C. the chaos of a new age's beginning
D. the personal loss felt when death occurs
Yeats describes in the excerpt a vision of chaotic things happening, and the world loosing control, a gyre is an upward spyral that continues to the infinity and usually falcons fly in circles only to fall again into their falconer´s hand, but this one can´t hear the falconer, so he is trapped in that spyral forever, he then sees the centre falling apart, which is a reference to the governments and centralized order, what´s next is just the chaos, of the destruction and the anarchic process of reconstruction.
