W. B. Yeats
A collection of theatrical works written in the early 20th century. This anthology includes plays that explore themes of Irish culture, spirituality, and the human experience, with ''The Unicorn from the Stars'' serving as a notable highlight. The characters reflect a blend of everyday life and mystical elements, with a focus on the struggles between the mundane and the transcendent. The opening of ''The Unicorn from the Stars'' introduces us to Father John and Thomas Hearne in a coach builder’s workshop, where they discuss the mysterious trance affecting Martin Hearne, Thomas's nephew. Martin's visions take him beyond the physical world, hinting at a deeper existential exploration. As the conversation unfolds, it reveals different perspectives on dreams, reality, and the healing powers of faith and prayer, setting the stage for a conflict between the spiritual and the practical. Themes of vision, creativity, and the struggle against societal constraints are woven throughout, suggesting that Martin’s journey will intertwine with larger universal quests for understanding and purpose.
