    other hand‚ does however have experience and yet again‚ he accepts his challenge as he always does. “Beowulf got ready; donned his war-gear‚ indifferent to death‚ his mighty‚ hand-forged‚ fine-webbed mail would soon meet with the menace under water” (Heaney 1442).

One the themes of Yeats’ poetry which interested me quite a lot was the theme of escapism. This theme is apparent in two of the
