At the beginning of the poem, it is easy to recognize that he did not want to be associated with the uprising. But Yeats realizes that credit should be given to the Irish, who fought. Show the public that while they may not agree with the use of violence to gain freedom, they respect that those involved are willing to fight and die for their freedom and that of many others, and will be remembered in course of history. Yeats repeats an oxymoron and paradox throughout the poem, appearing at the end of each stanza, which reinforces the fact that the oxymoron contains the meaning of the entire poem. “A terrible beauty is born,” explains how the poet considered the deaths caused by this war to be terrible, but the perseverance in rising and the sacrifices made by the soldiers for their country and their cause have a sense of beauty. It also reveals to the reader a sense of uncertainty, which has been infused into the poem, and how it shows the importance of the revolt in the poet's life.
