Conflict in Yeats’s “A Man Young and Old”
Abstract
Gender provides a crucial key to Yeats's art, because gender is imprinted uponall temporal and spiritual reality. It is employed not only as a subject in his poetry,but as the means of fleshing out his philosophy and clothing his personal experiencein a universal and comprehensible metaphor. Gender determines the way Yeats'sviews reality.
In “A Man Young and Old”, Yeats describes a type of personality that isconsummately objective-primary-solar-masculine according to his vision of archetypalphases. Although that personality is consistent throughout the sequence, there arestages of experience and insight that shift from youth through maturity to old age,as the title signifies. This personality attempts to make sense of his life through thegendered relationships that are at once the source of his lost innocence and theanchors of experience from which he gleans hard-earned insight. If there is oneword that characterizes the man's perspective, it is adversarial.
