Symbols/Theme

In Yeats, The Second Coming, there are many symbols and themes that represent multiple things, yet all have the same theme of the end of the world and the rebirth of Jesus trying to save the world.  The first symbol of the Falcon, represents the people that have lost control and can not be tamed.  The Falconer is the higher power trying to tam the the people who have lost control.  The lion body and the head of the man, represents the biblical allusion of the of the half beast half man, representing how society is transforming from a man to a beast.  Which leads us to the next symbol of the beast.  The beast represents Jesus and how he is a beast just like the commoners demonstrating how when Jesus preached, he always preached that he is a commoner and he is like everyone else.  This is all under the branch of the end of the world and the Messiah coming.  Jesus is reborn to save the people of most likely the dangers of industrialization and part of the progressive era where people lost their morals.  The themes in Hamlet are revenge and the players are a symbol of revenge.  Also the theme of deception vs reality is prevalent as the king seems to be strong on the outside but on the inside is extremely weak.
