| Abstract | This paper analyzes Calvary with the focus on Yeats’s ideas of subjectivityand individuality. The play is part of the Four Plays for Dancers (1921). It wasinspired by Oscar Wilde’s prose poem “Doer of the Good” (1894) and the formaltechniques of Japanese Noh Theatre. The paper examines both the continuities anddiscrepancies between Oscar Wilde and Yeats in their spiritual and aestheticaffiliations and Yeats’s use of Christian imagery, iconography, and narrative relatedto his system of Subjective-Objective antinomy. In exploring the theme ofsubjectivity, the debate between Emmanuel Levinas and Jacques Derrida that centerson the idea of hospitality is deployed to explain the relationship between the Christfigure and the other characters in the play. |
