ABSTRACT
The Resurrection, Yeats' second play upon the theme of Christ's death, is a considerable advance upon Calvary, both in dramatic weight and in theatrical effectiveness. Christ who was surrounded by images of those he could not save is now surrounded by images of those who must accept him; the climax, as Miner observes, comes in the Noh tradition, when the real nature of the god is revealed and enlightenment (or the shock of understanding) follows.
