Waste Land
1)
The Burial of the Dead
In the first part "The Burial Of The dead" T.S.Eliot talk about the
myth of Sibyl (sibyl is a waiting for death). Myth of Tristan and Isolde
and Hyacinth girl ( German opera, it is the flower name. The love and death
connected in the myth). At last T.S.Eliot talk about the Unreal City:
London Bridge, death undone, etc.....
"Something different
from either,
Your shadow at morning
striding behind you,
Or Your shadow at evening
to meet you,
He will show you fear in a
Handful Dust"
T.S.Eliot talks about the Red Rock. Red Rock is symbol of christianity.here, I
Put my view in single line
"I Will Shaw You , Who
Are You in Right Now?"
The image of Madame Sosostris. She was a fashionable fortune teller. We can see
in this image fond that the image of Christianity. The Christianity is
connected with the city of London. London is the city of Christian. So I can
connect the image of Madame Sosostris and city of London.
The second part of "A Game Of Chess". A poem this
section focuses on two opposing scenes, one of high society and one of the
lower classes. In this poem Relations to Eliot his wife. How Eliot marriage
life was not happy.
3)
The Fire Sermon
The poem 'The Fire sermon' we can say that the poem Boredom was one of the problam of waste land. The title of the poem 'The fire sermon' the sermon given by Buddha in which he encourage his followers to give up earthly passion (passion is symbolized by fire) and seek freedom of earthly thing. Also we can see in this poem there are many references like Bank of River, bank of Canal, Fisher king ( fisher king also suffering from bodies pain), Tiresias, a figure from classical mythology who has both male and female features. In this poem, ideas of Buddhism and Spirituality in the poem.

"Burning burning
burning burning
O lord thou pluckest me out
O lord thou pluckest
burning"
At last the section then comes to an
abrupt end with a few line from St.Augustine's confessions and a vague
references to the Buddha's fire sermon burning.
The poem's next section which will relate the story of a death without
resurrection exposes the absurdity of these two figures faith in external
higher power that this section ends with only the single word 'burning' isolated
on the page, reveals the futility of all of man's struggles.
4) Death by
Water
The poem ‘Death by Water' it's create a archetypes image. The poem death by water describes a man phlebas the Phoenician who has died apparently by dreaming. In death he has forgotten his worldly cares as the creatures of the seen have picked his body apart. We see the poem in Phlebas as Eliot’s Friend.

The narrator asks his reader too considered phlebes and recall his or her own
morality. At last we can say that the poem reflect the Tragic water world.
5) What the
Thunder Said
We can say that the poem what the thunder said says as taken from the UPNISHAD (Hindu fables). The poem reflect the Surrealistic image. The image of Cock. Cock symbolize something bright in our life. Here, also Eliot implies a path to regenerate the denizaens of the waste land E.g what the thunder said.

Datta - Give
Dayadhvam- Sympathi
Damayata- Control
Eliot bring together the wisdom of the
east and west and shows that spiritual regeneration can come, if only we had
the voice of the thunder.
The poem ends with a series of disparate fragments from a children's song, from
Dante and from Elizabethan drama leading up to a final chant of “Shantih
Shantih Shantih" . The traditional ending to an Upnishad.
