William Butler Yeats illustrates an extremely vivid picture for his readers in the poem "The Second Coming". Doubt crossed my mind after reading this poem that there is any good in the world we live in. Yeats believes that the world is governed by hopeless cycles that each have a fate of destruction. The hope that the world is good is crushed by his ideas that something devastating and wrong is constantly happening. Yeats imprints into your mind the thought that everything great that occurs in your life is twisted and canceled out by the bad.
