The "Waste Land" by T.S. Elliot is a broad and meticulous work. It is full of allusions and highbrow references so it’s no wonder that Hannah said this of it:
Elliot’s “Waste Land” seemed to just run on and on with not definite purpose other than
just ideas, that I could see. Even after I read some supporting writings on the poem, I just
didn’t see it.
“Waste Land” is the kind of work that needs to be read again and again before the reader can even begin to grasp what is being said. Even with many hours invested I don’t think a person could ever fully understand what Elliot is really trying to say, but that isn’t to say that it isn’t worth the effort.
