SIN AND CRIME AS METAPHORS FOR THE REPRESENTATION OF EVIL IN YEATS’S THE COUNTESS CATHLEEN AND PURGATORY

Maria Rita Drumond Viana

Resumo


This article analyzes the representation  of evil in two plays by W. B. Yeats:  The countess Cathleen (1892) and Purgatory (1939). Despite revealing different styles, the plays represent a concern with the nature of evil, salvation and damnation of the soul, and the individual’s power against the forces of history.
