The Supernatural Elements as Metaphors of Life in W. B. Yeats's Purgatory and Haruki Murakami's Kafka on the Shore*
Abstract
Both works could be read as a metaphor of life. One relies on psychology, andthe other relies on mythology. Murakami may have read Yeats, and Yeats might beinterested in Murakami if he lived and read him. Murakami is in a position to dealwith this kind of subtle subject in a subtle way, because he is a writer of the Eastwell versed in the West. In the same way, Yeats was in a unique position, whowas familiar with things eastern. Hence, their works manifest strong inclinationstoward mysterious milieu, most prominently what is supernatural.
