Departure, Turbulence, Arrival with The Haw Lantern
Abstract
This paper attempts to analyze the poetry The Haw Lantern written by Seamus Heaney, a Nobel laureate in literature, from the perspectives of language, cultural background and author's psychology. This paper discusses Heaney's negotiation with contradiction and the compromise and compensation made in the negotiation process. It explores Heaney's use of words as a sword, his journey to reclaim his original identity.References
