TS Eliot Society can be described in many ways, happy, enthusiastic, open, judgmental... and in some cases, like that of TS Eliot, pessimistic and dead. Considered one of, if not the, best poets of the 20th century, TS Eliot was strongly influenced by many tragic political and personal events such as the First World War, or by his own personal life, which made him led to write poems like “The Waste Land”. Eliot's most famous work, or his "sequel" "The Hollow Men" in which Eliot expresses his views on the "wasted" society of his time through different themes, symbols and allusions to other works literary. TS Eliot was a poet who lived a life full of change and in some cases shame. Eliot was born in the 1880s in St. Louis Missouri (Murphy 3). After studying at Harvard, Eliot lived in Paris for about a year, then in London. World War I, which broke out in 1914, is estimated to have cost an estimated 20 million people. Eliot also lost an old Parisian friend during World War I (Bush). In 1915, during the First World War, he married Vivien Haigh-Wood. Eliot's unexpected marriage and migration caused multiple family conflicts that would result in violent outbursts on Eliot's part (Murphy 7). During one of these epidemics, Eliot would write most of “The Wasted Land,” which would become his breakthrough. He would later publish “The Hollow Land,” otherwise known as “the sequel to The Waste Land” (Murphy 6). Over the years, the marriage deteriorated. Vivien's mental and physical health also deteriorated. In the 1930s, Eliot even distanced himself from Vivien. although she attempted to reconcile several times, Vivien was sent by her family to a mental institution in 1938 due to her mental health, where she would die of a heart attack in 1947 (Bush later remarried). late in life). ... middle of paper ...... I wrote down most of "The Waste Land" while he was recovering from a nervous breakdown he experienced during one of his multiple arguments family with his family. In conclusion, Thomas Stearns Eliot was a well-known poet influenced by both political and personal events whose famous modernist poems “The Hollow Men” and “The Waste Land” made him famous due to their themes that reflected the broken society Eliot lived in after World War I. In my opinion, TS Eliot's message. is that society should never be so "dead" and "hollow", and that we should never let this type of depression dominate society again. We should appreciate the fact that today in some parts of the world we live "happy" lives, but at the same time notice that even though we are at peace, there are still places in the world where desire to live is tiny and we should fix it or prevent it.
