Task:
1) What are your views on the following image after reading
'The Waste Land'? Do you think that Eliot is regressive as compared to
Nietzche's views? or Has Eliot achieved universality of thought by recalling mytho-historical
answer to the contemporary malaise?
2) Prior
to the speech, Gustaf Hellström of the Swedish Academy made these remarks:
T.S.
Eliot and S. Freud
|
What are your views
regarding these comments? Is it true that giving free vent to the repressed
'primitive instinct' lead us to happy and satisfied life? or do you agree with
Eliot's view that 'salvation of man lies in the preservation of the cultural
tradition'?
3) Write about
allusions to the Indian thoughts in 'The Waste Land'. (Where, How and
Why are the Indian thoughts referred?)
Respected sir,
Here i am sharing my views relating to the above mentioned questions.
1) The Waste Land is a long poem by T. S. Eliot. It is widely regarded as one of the most important poems of the 20th century and a central text in Modernist poetry. In first question I agree with both of them and in ‘The wasteland’ in religious and Christian ideas are middle and world university in this poem but find that Nietzsche’s ideas about prodigious and also continuous at ahead looking to a modern industrial society he says that to contemporary calamity in faith of culture, spiritual and faithful them. On the other side Eliot’s ideas about further to looking that to condition between self-centered, both are correct but we can say that our religious, traditions, historical background, ethics, enlightenment, culture etc at that moment in this poem but It's fair to say that human is center but never to ignore in right and wrong situations , culture, religious for the reason that whenever in this world human are never leave this intentions. So we can says that both views are important and never you became fail to look after in this poem.
2) To Eliot, it was said that You, Mr. Eliot, of are the opposite opinion. For you the salvation of the man lies in the preservation of the cultural tradition, which, in our more mature years, lives with great vigour within us than does primitiveness, and which we must preserve if chaos is to avoided.
both Freud and Eliot gave their views.Remarking both idea's we can say that Frued's views are further detached, whenever Eliot's views are more Philosophical and theoretical. According to Frued if there is a passion or wish then there must be a actual consequence Eliot "Salvation of man lies in the perseverance on the culture tradition. But there must be a balance between this both the things.
3) There are many examples of Hindu influences on the "Wasteland." Some of these allusions are clear, such as the Hindu story footnoted in Part V. or the repetition of "shantih" at the poem's close. An image of death-in-life is first presented in the epigraph with the Sybil, a character who illustrates a zombie-like existence through own life, yet wishing only to die.The other side of this, life-in-death, is illustrated by the first line of the poem which asserts that, “April is the cruellest month.” April is so cruel because it is the month of rebirth, and it serves as a reminder that in the "Wasteland" what is dead does not always stay dead. He uses many references like Buddhism, Christianity, Indian myths and many more for the solution of sexual perversion and spiritual degradation prevalent at that time in European civilization. And in the last part of the waste land Eliot use Gods, humans, and demons.
Each of these groups asks the Creator to instruct them and to each he replies "DA". The gods interpret this as "damyata" or “control,” the humans as "datta", or “give,” and the demons as "dayadhvam", or “sympathize.” The story ends with the repeating of "da da da" as a reminder to practice self-control, giving, and compassion.
