Question

What images and words does Yeats use to develop the theme that anarchy has overrun

Answer 1

Yeats uses images of spirals and falcon to show how anarchy has invaded the world.

We can arrive at this answer because:

• The poem features a falcon that got caught in a spiral that grew and advanced through the world more and more.

• This prevented the falcon from following its path and getting lost from the falconer, without being able to get rid of the spiral.
• This spiral that grows and advances around the world represents anarchy and Yeats uses it to show how anarchy is addictive, difficult to escape, and devastating.
• The falcon represents human beings, who are trapped in anarchy, unable to follow their paths and contributing to its advancement and destruction.

With this, Yeats reinforces the idea that once humans are trapped in anarchy, it will be difficult to stop it.

This question is about the poem “The Second Coming.”
