colonization
(slide 1) Hello everyone
I'm ….. we are gonna talk about an interesting topic which is Decolonization in Yeats' poems
The first thing that comes to our mind after hearing Yeats' name is the word decolonization
Before we're gonna talk about him , there're some details about the Irish literature in general .
Also, in our presentation we selected the important points because all these points if we take them individually we'll not finish 
(slide 2) So, If you look at this sentence , the main idea about our topic will be clear in front of you
The Irish give us this impression through their works of art and their fighting for their identity .Literature reflects cultures ,so through literature you can discover a large nation like the Irish .
(slide 3) here , an Irish man is represented through these pictures
A green long hat, clover plant and potatoes . All these objects discussed in Yeats' poems .
(slide 4) Yeats is considered one of the known figure in Literature especially in poetry.
(slide 5) There are many versions of William Butler Yeats. Yeats as a poet , dramatist ,critic ,nationalist and postcolonialist.
(slide 6) He is a writer who devoted himself to building Irish culture and literature, Yeats’s position as a postcolonial figure seems obvious.
(slide 7) Yeats was a poet of decolonization, a muse expressing the Irish experience of the dominant colonial power of Britain. Rather than reading Yeats’s poetry from the conventional perspective of high European modernism
Said explains that “he appears to me, and I am sure many others in the Third World, to belong naturally to the other cultural domain”
(slide 8) Then, we can't talk about something without materialistic proves like an example from Yeats' poems
(slide 9) this poem is (The Fisherman) In this poem, Yeats presents the ideal Irish man .He wants to remind the Irish people of their cultures and figures . Some critics said that he wants to illustrate a model to the Irish people to follow

    After Yeats’ dreams come the memories of the woman. In three of the five stanzas Yeats repeats the words ‘Vague memories, nothing but memories.’ Yeats’ actual memories of her have faded as he got older, another result of time and ageing. Yeats can only remember a small amount about her, a large amount of that being her looks and beauty, he has been dreaming about that one thing for so long that he has forgotten everything else about her. It is suggested that even the memories that he still has become blurred and they are not as they actually were. In the fourth stanza she enters a lake with one small imperfection that makes her stand out, but if she were to leave the lake it is implied that this imperfection will disappear and she will be utterly perfect. That imperfection is the one of her characteristics that makes her so appealing to Yeats and so even more memorable, if that were to go then perhaps he will forget her altogether.…

    Conflict is the basis of all human interaction and hence is an integral part of human life. Through ambiguous yet comprehensive treatment of conflict W. B. Yeats has ensured that his works stand the test of time and hence have remained ‘classics’ today. Through my critical study I have recognised that Yeats’ poems Easter 1916 and The Second Coming are no exception. Yeats’ poetic form, language and use of poetic techniques; such as juxtaposition, allusion, and extended metaphors, alert audiences to both the inner and physical conflict that are the foundations of both poems. It is through this treatment of conflict that supplies audiences with the ability to individualise the reading and hence engage a broad range of audiences despite their unique contexts throughout time.…

Yeats family was very well off his father having steady income and his mother being from a very wealthy family. Yeats went to school in both London and Ireland, but he finished his education in Dublin at The Metropolitan School of Art in 1886. During his time at The Metropolitan School of Art, some of his pieces of writing were published in the Dublin University Review. After finishing his education Yeats and his family relocated to London. During this time Yeats progressed in his writing and influence in the literary world.

    Each of Joyce’s major works takes place in or near Dublin, the city of his birth and residence until entering a period of self-exile after being “dissatisfied … with Irish nationalism, Catholicism, and his family background” in 1902 (“Biography of James Joyce” 10). Joyce’s works received mixed reviews. After publishing his first novel, A Portrait of the Artist of a Young Man, Joyce received praise from renowned authors, poets and critics such as Ezra Pound, who proclaimed that Joyce was undoubtedly one of the “best contemporary authors” of his generation (Pound 123). Recurring themes and subjects in Joyce’s works incorporated religion in Ireland and the Home Rule movement, the struggle for Irish independence from the United Kingdom (Monahan 280). Joyce used Dublin as his setting to be able to artistically express life in Ireland. This decision would also bring him negative criticism. Critics not familiar with life in Dublin and Joyce’s technique of vividly documenting odors and tastes were aghast at the unpleasant scenes in his novels and short stories (Kershner). However those who complained of Joyce’s improprieties were far outnumbered by critics and readers who knew immediately that his novels would be permanent.…

    The tone and mood of the poem take a sharp turn in the couplet ending the first stanza, however; the speaker suddenly sees himself through the children"'"s eyes as they '"'In momentary wonder stare upon/ A sixty-year-old smiling public man.'"' The speaker is almost certainly Yeats himself; as a member of the Irish Senate, Yeats, just turned sixty, did in fact visit schools as a part of his official duties.…

    Throughout many of his poems, W.B Yeats portrayed important aspects of Ireland’s history especially around the 1900’s when Ireland was fighting for independence. During this time, Ireland was going through an agonizing time of struggle. The Employers’ Federation decided to lock out their workers in order to break their resistance. By the end of September, 25,000 workers were said to have been affected. Although the employers’ actions were widely condemned, they refused to consider negotiation or compromise with the Union. His readers are able to see how Yeats reflects the political, cultural, and societal atmosphere in Ireland during the early 1900’s. The poems September 1913 and Easter 1916 both reflect the political, cultural, and societal atmospheres that were found in Ireland around the 1900’s.…
