How does the second coming become darkly ironic happy end of the poem?
The second coming in the poem "The Second Coming" by W.B. Yeats becomes a darkly ironic happy end because instead of bringing about a moment of divine salvation or renewal, it heralds chaos, violence, and the birth of a monstrous figure (the "rough beast"). This sharp contrast between traditional expectations of the second coming and the bleak reality presented in the poem creates a sense of irony and tension.
