synopsis
original work
The Waste Land is the most famous and influential work of thomas eliot (1888- 1965). It is a milestone in modern British and American poetry and the most representative work in symbolic literature. It expresses the disillusionment of the western generation and is regarded as an epoch-making work in modern western literature.
The hope of resurrection of the withered wasteland-vulgar and ugly people who are still alive-runs through the cold and hazy picture of the whole poem as a main line, which profoundly shows the true colors of western society such as human desire to cross, spiritual degradation, moral decay, despicable and ugly life, conveys the disgust, general disappointment and disillusionment of westerners to the world and reality after World War I, and shows the mental outlook of a generation.
