Answer 2

Answer:

Explanation:

•The play "Purgatory" by W.B. Yeats illustrates how the afterlife's restlessness bothers the living.

•The term "purgatory" refers to the location or condition that the soul enters after passing away in order to atone for its sins before entering heaven.

•The old man and his son are two characters in the drama. In addition, there is a dead spirit who makes occasional appearances here and there. The drama primarily addresses the grief of the deceased and the effects of the dead's crimes on the living.

•The old man's father wasted the property by drinking excessively, destroying the honourable house, and depriving his son (the old man) of an education and the inheritance of the property. This was a serious crime.

•As a result, when he was sixteen years old, the old man killed his own father. The repentant spirits of the old man's mother and father frequently pay a visit to the abandoned house in the play.

•Due to the crimes and sins committed while it was living, the suffering spirit is not cleansed to reach heaven.
