July 28th



I agree with Fanny's first perceptions from the poem The Waste Land by T.S. Eliot, which are insecurity and exposure. Moreover, the line she cited: "APRIL is the cruelest month...” is very relevant to understand the suffering that this poet was feeling in that time, perhaps. As she explaines, this month is in spring in the northern hemisphere, which means flowering, love, happiness, lights, colors, and so forth. However, we can see that Eliot was not feeling the same deduction of the spring's meaning. And this can be explained with psychological terms due to some people suffer in this season because they do not find the flowering, love, lights and colors that most of people are living.
On the other hand, connecting this approach with the quotation, we can see that Eliot suffered with this issue, even though he was smart and had money to have whatever he wanted. Moreover, Eliot was critical to this destroyed world in the way of society and modernism which were in war. How can we make people understand that we have a beautiful world that we are losing because of individuality? How can we change people’s minds? Existentialism and individualism were the based on social issues. People acted without think about the consequences, even to analyze the possibilities to reach what they want without thinking in the other, quietly individual.
Therefore, wars exist. Having power to reach a social position to manage and make people suffer to control the world for what reason; for the reason of being naïve, guides people destruct the world without any sense of rationale.
There are many poets, as Eliot, who are shouting through their ways of expressions why we behave like this! What we gain from this! We do not understand that with that greed and ambition the only thing we will reach are the death, but not only mine.
