This article analyzes the representation of evil in two plays by W. B. Yeats: The countess Cathleen (1892) and Purgatory (1939). Despite revealing different styles, the plays represent a concern with the nature of evil, salvation and damnation of the soul, and the individual’s power against the forces of history.Downloads
