They are two different authors from different time periods of literature who developed different

    gerontion by t.s. eliot

    • 973 Words
    • 4 Pages

    This poem’s title‚ Gerontion‚ is Greek for “little old man”. This title ties in with the poem’s theme of an old man pondering about life and death. Eliot continues his use of dryness; in this poem he uses it to represent hopelessness and purposelessness. However‚ the pervading theme of this poem is death‚ afterlife‚ and Christianity.  Lines that particularly reflect these themes are lines 17-20‚ “Signs are taken for wonders. ‘We would see a sign!’/The word within a word‚ unable to speak a word

    I will be closely reading Hysteria by T.S. Eliot to interpret the piece through the eye of an amateur New Critic. Through this reading technique that emphasizes focusing on the words on the page‚ I will give evidence to support that hysteria is an overwhelming state that consumes everyone in its path. Although it is the woman in the poem who is laughing hysterically‚ both men who surround her are consumed by the desire to make her stop. By showing the ambiguity‚ and tension found throughout this

    • 1998 Words
    • 7 Pages

    seen as a way of advancing to the next stage and improving the cultural values of the past. However‚ for T.S. Eliot‚ modernity had ruptured its connection to a more vital past and was as a result impoverished. History is instead characterized by regression and ruptures. In his essay‚ “Tradition and the Individual Talent‚” his idea of tradition shows retrogression instead of progression. Eliot argues that “the whole literature of Europe from Homer” (49) is an archive of works affecting authors in the

    Jessica Joy T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land” Final Paper Eliot imparts to us the Grail quest’s influence on “The Waste Land” in the notes: “Not only the title‚ but the plan and a good deal of the incidental symbolism of the poem were suggested by Miss Jessie L.
