Poetry analysis : THE TRIUMPH OF LIFE, by P. B. Shelley
MEG1 British Poetry
Shelley was an idealist described by his wife Mary Shelley as having a passion for reform. He wanted to reform the world and its evils of society. He believed that every man has free rights which have been curtailed by society. Shelley wrote poetry with a view of arousing people’s concern and consideration, the imagination and willpower that are the key to ward off society’s restrictions. Poetry cultivates the imagination, the faculty through which we achieve compassionate empathy with the root of humanity. Shelley believed that poetry ‘contains within itself the seeds […] of social renovation'.
‘The Triumph of Life’ is unfinished breaking in mid-sentence with the question: ‘Then, what is life?’
The Triumph of Life was the last major work by Percy Bysshe Shelley. To the end Shelley was questing for knowledge with the sceptical intelligence reflected in his work. ‘The Triumph of Life’ is a pessimistic poem based on the illusion of life. It has a definite parallel with Dante’s ‘Inferno’ which is a mixture of realism and grotesque. The text proclaims itself by Dante’s terza rima and circular rhyme suggesting the circles of hell.
‘The Triumph of Life' is a bleak visionary poem, the narrator in Dante manner has an encounter with the figure of Rousseau who guides him through the vision of hell. Rousseau is not free from the hellish vision of which he provides commentary. He is as much a victim of the macabre dance of life as the mad revelling crowd of deluded souls who flock self-destructively into the wake of life’s chariot as it drives in triumph through and over them. Rousseau is depicted in the form of a tree stump, an ironical metaphor expressing the disillusionment and futility of life.
'The Triumph of Life' is an ironical poem, the ‘triumph’ is a cruel assertion of Life’s dominance over individual beings, life triumphs over spirituality, the mundane triumphs over the idealistic. Even Rousseau himself becomes disillusioned in the end, and regretted the results of the French Revolution. The light of the Enlightenment is dazzling and ultimate aim is to fade in the light itself. In Rousseau, Shelley sees himself, Rousseau’s point is that he was seduced by life itself which turned his mind to ‘sand’.
There were only two great men who survived the Triumph of Life: Christ and Socrates, whose lives were strong enough to keep them from being crushed by the chariot of the relentless process of change. Jesus and Socrates, according to Shelley were the victims of repressive and reactionary groups in their societies who could not tolerate the free enquiry initiated by them. Shelley although a confirmed atheist valued Jesus highly but insisted on seeing him a superior being not as a god.
Shelley held the belief that reform began in the minds of men, but as he grew older he became increasingly aware that such a gradual process might for all its honesty be futile. In ‘The Triumph of Life’ he expresses a reflection of the disillusionment and disenchantment of life. Shelley is almost rejecting the idealism which gave life to his poems.
