Existentialism in Irish Poetry (William Butler Yeats)

Existentialism is particularly interesting among the literary currents that gained an important place in the Western European literature of the 20th century. The mentioned current was one of the echoes of the Second World War, and in fact it can be said that the existential ideas arose on the basis of the disappointments of the post-war period, since the existing Conflicts and tensions intensified the feeling of aggression and alienation among people, which affected people of all classes and ages, and left a mark on all areas. The Second World War caused confrontation and many divisions between nations and countries, which had a special reflection on the post-war world. Although the end of the war was a great relief, the consequences and traces left by this war were tragic and severe.
