About this listen
W.B. Yeats’s He Wishes His Beloved Were Dead stands out as an unusual take on the Gothic tradition, subverting its typical themes of mourning a lost lover or yearning for a love that has already slipped into death. Instead of lamenting a beloved who has died, the speaker disturbingly expresses a wish for his beloved to die—not out of cruelty, but from a twisted longing to finally experience the depth of her love in the stillness and silence of the grave. So, let's dive into that!
