Hi, need to submit a 1500 words paper on the topic Symbolism and Yeats: An Analysis of Two Poems. It is the hope of this author that by analyzing these two poems, in light of the question of how symbolism is utilized by Yeats’ to effect deeper meanings, the reader can come to a more informed and appreciable understanding with respect to the ability of Yeats to representing meanings to the reader – alongside meanings veiled within symbology. Furthermore, by seeking to understand the motivations behind the symbology and the reasons why William Butler Yeats expressed these sentiments and meanings in the way he did, the reader will also come to appreciate the talent of Yeats to an even greater degree than they might have before.

Firstly, with regard to William Butler Yeats’ “The Dolls”, the reader is presented with a poem that features the ruminations of an old man as he looks over a collection of dolls. Yet, beneath the surface is represented a much deeper and fundamental human issue. the need and continual desire for perfection. Ultimately, the poem continually plays on the desire of the doll-maker to represent perfection and the continual frustration that he finds in the “real world” as this perfection ends in decay, imperfection, flaws, and death. As the dolls sit on the shelf, the speaker becomes more and more disgusted by the reality of the insufficiency and imperfection that is represented within humanity. and by a greater level of discussion reality itself. One by one, the speaker analyzes the comparison between the real and the superficial/artificial. at each and every occurrence coming to realize that the artificial things are better.
