Abstract

This article focuses on the poem ‘The Wasteland’ by T.S.Eliot. It demonstrates the artistic skill in which Eliot enables the readers to make a journey through this wasteland in the guidance and company of Tieresias. The article throws light on the theme of spiritual bareness prevailing in the modern age through analysis of various literary techniques such as allusions, juxtapositions, images and symbols used in the poem. This journey through the five parts of the poem ends in the optimistic note that through the renunciation of this worldly self the lustful sexuality of the wasteland may some day be redeemed.
