| Résumé : | W.B. Yeats intended The Cat and the Moon to be a Japanese ‘Kiogen’, a farce or comedy presented between two Noh plays or within a single Noh play. In the inner drama of The Cat and the Moon, miracles happen to both of the emblematic characters, the Lame Beggar (the soul) and the Blind Beggar (the body). This essay analyzes the play from two distinctive perspectives: Yeats's use of the Japanese Noh and kyogen as his new model for the symbolic theatre, and the systematic use of sound symbolism which strengthens the symbolic structure of The Cat and the Moon. |
