up in most cases. In other cases‚ such as “Mrs. Sen’s” in‚ Interpreter of Maladies‚ by Jhumpa Lahiri‚ the roles of maturity switch. In “Mrs. Sen’s” a child of eleven years‚ Eliot‚ shows a level of maturity that a boy his age would usually not have yet. From the beginning of the story‚ Lahiri lets the reader know that‚ “Eliot can feed and entertain himself[...]” (Lahiri 111). This sets the bar letting the reader know this is a child who can take care of himself‚ but for social purposes

conforming characters. Eliot shows the contradictory argument of both qualities with their conflicting attributes as their true identities are hidden as society shapes the idea of their individual qualities. This is shown as Eliot gives us a sense in which he is a conformist ’My necktie rich and modest‚ but asserted by a simple pin ’ as he has been apart of the middle class word - ’For I have known them all already…Beneath the music from a farther room ’. This conformist side of T.S Eliot is produced prominently

T S Eliot’s poem ‘To the Indians who Died in Africa’ is an interesting Eliot piece. It is not often you read a poem by Eliot which refrains from striking the grand pose. He tended to invoke the giant issues of human soul every time he penned a poem‚ except of course‚ when he wrote those cat poems. But this is a puzzlingly small-aimed poem. A bit advise not grand wisdom‚ I guess. That this poem in imbued in the war and empire atmosphere is obvious. What he has to say to the Indians is funnily passive

Night’ and ‘Preludes’. Eliot uses his fragmented childhood experiences and his thoughts on the squalor modern life to express the issues of meaningless life‚ isolation‚ the alienation and loneliness that the humans feel and lastly the damaged psyche of humanity. The issues of meaningless life is expressed through complex imagery and other language techniques like symbolism with death frequently linked to show that life was not anticipated and death was welcomed to society. Eliot also explored the modernist

texts. Consider this statement by exploring the relationship between text and context in at least two poems you studied by Eliot. Eliot’s modernist poems‚ Preludes and The Love Song of J.

Also‚ Prufrock talks about how women talk in a schoolgirl way‚ name dropping to sound smart and to socialize with other people. For example‚ in lines 13 and 14: “In the room the women come and go / Talking of Michelangelo” (Eliot 13-14)‚ Eliot uses trochee and true rhyme to imply the women’s shallowness and how they try to just look

poetry that support my personal interpretation of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock‚ Rhapsody on a Windy Night and Eliot’s poetry in general. My interpretation of Prufrock‚ Rhapsody and Eliot’s poetry is that this medium of expression is a way for Eliot to communicate his own personal feelings regarding his personal life and social context. This explains why his poetry often holds common themes of depression‚ alienation‚ ambiguity‚ criticism of society‚ hesitancy‚ submission and vulnerability. As

Another reason that Lantern Yard is a light is because being a part of Lantern Yard helps him to be accepted by the Church and the community. One example of this is when Eliot writes‚ “Marner was highly thought of in that little hidden
