For Friday's class, we will be presenting "The Burial of the Dead", T.S. Eliot's first section of The Waste Land. Taking in account the poem's extension -and as advised by the teacher- we will mostly consider the first two stanzas.
However, analyzing such a complex poem, even the first two stanzas do require a longer discussion; therefore, if you want to prepare for our presentation, we suggest you to focus (mostly) on these three themes that tend to occur often in The Waste Land:
- Life-Death(-Rebirth?);
- Sense of decay;
- Critical view of the modern culture.
P.S. If, for some reason, you forgot to watch or write down the title of the video mentioned in class, here you have it.
