   Death in life/living death. From the poem’s epigraph onwards, the idea of a living death is established as one of the key themes of The Waste Land. The epigraph is from Petronius’ scurrilous Roman novel, Satyricon.

   Nov 3, 2016 · Profit and loss: life and death. The abridged lyric we get in ‘Death by Water’ turns on pairings which are joined by ‘and’ or ‘or’, as if to suggest the bobbing of the waves: up and down, up and down.

   The cultural degeneration from Shakespeare to popular music is emblematic of the decline and debasement seen throughout The Waste Land. Eliot has interestingly affixed an “O O O O” to the beginning of the song, which is reminiscent of the final lines of Hamlet: “The rest is silence. / O, o, o, o.”. It’s so elegant.

   What did Eliot say in a trance?

   • Fragmentation. Fragmentation is both a major theme of The Waste Land and a key feature of its style and layout, especially when we come to the final section, ‘What the Thunder Said’, which Eliot wrote in a trance (he later confessed that he wasn’t even bothering whether he understood what he was saying).

   Did Eliot think death had undone so many?

   • As so often with Eliot, though, he is alluding to another poet in his line ‘I had not thought death had undone so many’. In his early fourteenth-century poem Inferno – the first poem in his three-part Divine Comedy – Dante describes those suffering in the inferno that is hell: che morte tanta n’avesse disfatta.

   Why does Eliot say'so many' have been 'undone'?

   • So, for Eliot’s speaker in The Waste Land, ‘so many’ have been ‘undone’ by the recent death and devastation of the First World War. And this chimes with a phenomenon often witnessed in the poem: so many of its characters are experiencing a kind of living death, or a deadened form of life.

   Is 'the Waste Land' a good poem?

   • Trade and finance loom large in The Waste Land: it is a highly economically aware poem, which is what we should perhaps expect from a poet whose day job, at the time of writing The Waste Land, was as clerk in Lloyds Bank in London.

   What images suggest sterility in Eliot's poem?

   • There are plenty of other images suggesting sterility in Eliot’s poem: the desert landscape with the ‘red rock’ inspired by the Old Testament books of Ezekiel and Ecclesiastes (see ‘The Burial of the Dead’), and the ‘if there were water’ sections from the beginning of ‘What the Thunder Said’, before thunder arrives and rain finally falls again.

   Did Eliot change the landscape of Anglophone poetry?

   • Even in his most famous poems we can often detect the rhythms of iambic pentameter – that quintessentially English verse line – and in other respects, such as his respect for the literary tradition, Eliot is a more ‘conservative’ poet than a radical. Nevertheless, his poetry changed the landscape of Anglophone poetry for good.

   The answer that is usually given is the mass death of the First World War, in which almost a million British men gave their lives in combat. Death, then, has undone not the dead, but the living. What lends this interpretation credence is the fact that Eliot had already used Dante’s Inferno as the epigraph for an earlier poem, his 1915 poem ...
