What is a good thesis statement for chaos vs. control?

Asked by Maya_01 (489points) September 1st, 2022

I have to write an essay on Yeats poetry and one of my themes is chaos vs. control and the other theme is the need for change vs. the need for stasis.

I don’t know squat about Yeats, but the change versus stasis theme is more interesting to me. I’d look for poetic parallels to life and death to support that.

We don’t usually do homework bu I’m a sucker for literature questions. How about something like: “In much of Yeat’s poetry we see a reflection of the times he lived in and his engagement with the theme of chaos vs control.” Then you would have to back that up with some factual description of what was going on in Ireland when he wrote and examples from the poems to reinforce that theme.

Edit: Should be “Yeats’s”
