T.S.Eliot talks The waste land poem
about the western culture. His location and nation by the western culture. In
this poem nothingness, infertility, wasteland and religious, cultural think in
the poem. The waste land is a collection of five poem divided into different
parts. The entire poem is archetype way also a poem made of collage of images.
1) The Burial of the
Dead
In the first part
"The Burial Of The dead" T.S.Eliot talk about the myth of Sibyl (sibyl is a waiting for death). Myth of
Tristan and Isolde and Hyacinth girl ( German opera, it is the flower name. The
love and death connected in the myth).
At last T.S.Eliot talk about the Unreal City: London Bridge, death
undone, etc.....
"Something different from either,
Your shadow at morning striding behind you,
Or Your shadow at evening to meet you,
He will show you fear in a Handful Dust"
T.S.Eliot talks about the Red Rock.
Red Rock is symbol of christianity.here, I Put my view in single line
"I Will Shaw You , Who Are You in Right Now?"
The image of Madame Sosostris. She was a
fashionable fortune teller. We can see in this image fond that the image of
Christianity. The Christianity is connected with the city of London. London is
the city of Christian. So I can connect the image of Madame Sosostris and city
of London.
2)
A
Game Of Chess
The second part of "A Game Of
Chess". A poem this section focuses on two opposing scenes, one of high
society and one of the lower classes. In this poem Relations to Eliot his wife. How Eliot marriage life was not happy.
3)
The
Fire Sermon
The poem 'The Fire sermon' we can
say that the poem Boredom was one of the problam of waste land. The title of
the poem 'The fire sermon' the sermon given by Buddha in which he encourage his
followers to give up earthly passion (passion is symbolized by fire) and seek
freedom of earthly thing. Also we can see in this poem there are many
references like Bank of River, bank of Canal, Fisher king ( fisher king also
suffering from bodies pain), Tiresias, a figure from classical mythology who
has both male and female features. In this poem, ideas of Buddhism and
Spirituality in the poem.
"Burning burning burning burning
O lord thou pluckest me out
O lord thou pluckest burning"
At last the section then comes to an
abrupt end with a few line from St.Augustine's confessions and a vague
references to the Buddha's fire sermon burning.
The poem's next section which will
relate the story of a death without resurrection exposes the absurdity of these
two figures faith in external higher power that this section ends with only the
single word 'burning' isolated on the page, reveals the futility of all of
man's struggles.
4) Death by Water
The poem ‘Death by Water' it's
create a archetypes image. The poem death by water describes a man phlebas the Phoenician
who has died apparently by dreaming. In death he has forgotten his worldly
cares as the creatures of the seen have picked his body apart. We see the poem
in Phlebas as Eliot’s Friend.
The narrator asks his reader too considered
phlebes and recall his or her own morality. At last we can say that the poem
reflect the Tragic water world.
5) What the Thunder
Said
We can say that the poem what the
thunder said says as taken from the UPNISHAD (Hindu fables). The poem reflect
the Surrealistic image. The image of Cock. Cock symbolize something bright in
our life. Here, also Eliot implies a path to regenerate the denizaens of the
waste land E.g what the thunder said.
Datta - Give
Dayadhvam- Sympathi
Damayata- Control
Eliot bring together the wisdom of the
east and west and shows that spiritual regeneration can come, if only we had
the voice of the thunder.
The poem ends with a series of
disparate fragments from a children's song, from Dante and from Elizabethan
drama leading up to a final chant of “Shantih Shantih Shantih" . The
traditional ending to an Upnishad.
