How does 'she' in 'No Second Troy' teach ignorant men most violent ways?
In the poem, 'No Second Troy' by W.B. Yeats which is published in 'Responsibilities and Other Poems' in 1916, 'she' referred to Maud Gonne, the beloved of W.B. Yeats.
The poet met Maud Gonne in 1889 and fell instantly and feverishly in love with her. Maud Gonne is as beautiful as comparable to Helen, the paragon of beauty. But Yeats asserts that she is not only a beauty, but also a fire belching leader of Ireland.
She has taught the ignorant men of Ireland how to fight against tyranny, exploitation, poverty, marginalization, and discriminitation. She has enlightened them so that they acquire the ability to combat the forces inside and outside Ireland. She has inspired them to revolt against the authority. She has educated them how to possess their birthrights and protect their dignity and prestige against the hostile forces.
