Yeats’s and Maeterlinck’s Dramatic Symbolism

Ariane Murphy
Lycée International Xavier, Seoul

Abstract

The symbols of crumbling towers, deep wells or fountains, and impassablethresholds belong to Yeats as much as they belong to Maeterlinck, indeed as theybelong to a whole generation. So, this paper focuses on similarities and disparities inthe symbolism of Yeats and Maeterlinck, that is, in their conception and use ofsymbols. In their essays, Yeats and Maeterlinck express a similar conception.Literature is by essence symbolic. To them, symbol is not the simple image of anabstract idea; symbol has its roots beyond reason; it is of divine essence. Thecomparison between two plays, On Baile’s Strand by Yeats and The Death ofTintagiles by Maeterlinck, will reveal a special form of “dramatic symbolism” thatemerges from those ideas, at the turn of the 19th century: Maeterlinck goes as far asbelieving that the author must be a passive receptor of the divine symbols whereasYeats believes in the writer’s creative power. It explains greatly the differentdramaturgical choices they made.
