Seamus Heaney, a Catholic minority in Northern Ireland,
constantly faces thepressures from social demands and public
expectations to be the spokesman forhis tribe's predicament.
His poetry (wordscape) vividly depicts the landscapeof his
homeland, through which we can we can explore into the depths of
hispsychic roots (mindscape), and in which Heaney's endless
quest for identitiesin the troubled, violence-plagued Northern
Ireland could be unfolded. Thisthesis tries to probe Heaney'
s pursuit of the sense of self-identity, in theface of
Catholic/Protestant division and seemingly endless sectarian
violenceThe first Chapter serves as an introduction; Chapter
Two explores the inter-penetration between the poet and the
place he isliving in now; Chapter Threeaims at revealing the
confrontation between speaking for his own poeticconscience
and speaking for his tribe's interest; Chapter Four, by
adoptingthe Jungian perspective,focuses on how Heaney uses myth
to respond to Ulster'sseemingly endless bloodshed. Chapter Five
serves an a conclusion.
