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.
