Abstract

The general accusation against most of the post war literature regarding its incoherent and fragmentary nature has been widely accepted. Contrary to this allegation, I understand that despite being sketchy or fractional at the outset, modern literature does have internal unity. Without such an integrated organizational pattern, no piece of literature can qualify the test of time. The same applies to the Waste Land, a landmark in the 20th Century. Deeper level analyses at the aesthetic and semantic levels highlight an explicit coherent pattern in the poem. The specific lexical choice within the five parts of the poem demonstrates thematic development both at the individual parts and the entire poem as a whole. Thus, one observes that the Waste Land is an organic body composed of five disproportionate parts, all made up of the same lexico-thematic constituents.
