Beskrivelse af The Land Of Heart's Desire
The Land of Heart's Desire is a play written by the famous Irish poet and playwright, William Butler Yeats. It was first performed in 1894 and is often considered one of Yeats' most important works. The play is set in rural Ireland and tells the story of Maire Bruin, a woman who longs for a life of beauty and romance. She is married to a farmer named Shawn Bruin, but she is dissatisfied with her mundane existence and dreams of escaping to the magical land of the fairies, known as the Land of Heart's Desire. One day, Maire's wish is granted, and she is taken away to the fairy realm by a group of supernatural beings. While there, she experiences a world of wonder and enchantment, but she also learns that the fairy world is not as perfect as she had imagined. Maire soon realizes that she must choose between her old life and the new one she has discovered. The Land of Heart's Desire is a poetic and lyrical play that explores themes of love, desire, and the supernatural. It is a classic example of Yeats' use of symbolism and his fascination with Irish folklore and mythology. The play is often performed in Ireland and is considered a significant contribution to Irish literature and culture.MAURTEEN. And maybe it is natural upon May Eve To dream of the good people.
