A Look at the Women of The Waste Land

T. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land" has changed many roles, but some of them are female characters. Each character has its own story and its own voice, respectively. Each of them made their own contribution to the overall meaning of poetry. In particular, women differ greatly in age, life stage, education level, socio-economic status. Their voices are unique and unique, and when they appear in the poems it is often easy to distinguish them. But despite the differences Elliott said that these women are actually single female performances.

Love and sex in wasteland are one of the theme of this poem. The introduction of "wasteland" in "Selected works of Norton English Literature" points out that "This is a poem about mental dryness." The introduction also pointed out that the main theme includes the lack of "new faith", "meaning and value of people", and "not predicting resurrection".

T. Elliot portrayed him in the "great nature" of the ridiculous land of the Western countries in the 1920s. However, in the 21st century, all common mobile technologies pushed this mental disorientation to a higher level. Modern people bury their heads on smartphones when they are furiously demanding something stimulating their senses. In the process of consumption stimulated by stimulants, they lose their reproductive ability and can not think or create themselves. In this respect, the term "wasteland" seems better for modern people.

Looking at land use, about 1.4 billion hectares of land (about one-third of the total farmland in the world) is used for cultivating waste food. Millions of gallons of oil are wasted each year to produce unable to eat food. All of them do not even consider the adverse effects of biodiversity, such as conversion to single afforestation and wild land agricultural land. In order to suppress food waste, it is necessary to make changes at every stage of the process, from farmers and food processors to supermarkets and individual customers. As a first step, you should give priority to balancing production and demand. Basically, this means that less natural resources are used to produce unnecessary food.
