Contrasting of Past with Present in Waste Land

"Waste land" Elliot's past and present contrasts the present and past of his poem "Wasted Land" in many ways. The simplest of these is simple colocation of one or more current descriptions immediately before or after one or more past descriptions. The most obvious of these is the second part. There are two current descriptions (lines 111 - 139 and 140 - 172) followed by the past explanation (lines 77 - 110). In this case, juxtaposition is used to maintain modern attitudes toward sex and love, adjacent to past attitudes.

The publication of "The Waste Land" is an important event in the development of contemporary British poetry. It contrasts the past myth with the current psychological stagnation. It has been proved to be a good tool for meditation civilization after the First World War. Eliot also fights against sin, like strengthening himself like reason and ransom

"Wasted land" consists of five parts, whose principle is "rhetorical discontinuity" reflecting the sensitivity of the great modern city in the western part of the 20th century. Eliot announced the desperation and confusion of the purpose of the secularized urban life and the decline of the "eternal city". This is the ultimate theme of The Waste Land. It is embodied by juxtapose rhetical change of poetry and juxtaposition of contrasting styles. However, "wasteland" is not a simple contrast between heroic past and autumn, but on the contrary, it is the eternal simultaneous consciousness of moral greatness and moral evil. According to Esra Pound's proposal, the original manuscript of about 800 lines of poetry was cut out at 433. This is his most famous poem, but wasteland is not Eliot's biggest poem.

Elliot has used past fragments, including past prophecies, to create new prophecies for the present and the future of the wasteland. Mrs. Sosostris Tarot Card has established a symbolism system that provides information for the prophecy of this poem. This symbolic meaning is related to the prophets and myths of Bear Ain Civil whose dilemma is reflected in poetry inscriptions. The death of her life is a parable of the Londoners who crossed the bridge and experienced the death of the modern era (1: 63). King Fisher's main myth symbolizes this death, which is about the same as the fertility of the king. Finally, fragments stitched together by Elliott form the abandoned land of modern London by accusing and alerting the result of modernization.
