Emptiness in The Hollow Men

The emptiness of "hollow man" after Elliot announced "wasteland", he felt he could not fully express despair and emptiness in this work. Beginning with "Doris fantasy songs" and "Last eyes of my eyes", he explored these themes and ultimately focused them all on "hollow people". The final product is a different work from the "wasteland" and its ultimate redemption opportunity, and as a conclusion it is only the emptiness that the hollow person does not fade away. Sky people are people who do not act according to their own life beliefs, they completely resist any action and the result is always in the "shadow".

In "White", Elliott said "We are the sky people". In today's world, because of their lack of soul, he communicates the emptiness of people. Sky people are superficial and not deep. When an empty man said: "We are whispering together / quiet and meaningless", which indicates that they are afraid of showing their emotions. Like urban resident like Prelude, sky men are not connected to other people. Sky people are afraid to reveal their real existence; this is parallel to the "prelude". Eliot said,

These are meaningless words, simple arguments designed to be confusing, fragmenting and blurring. They are provided by short sale men (mainly men as well as some women), they - regardless of religious beliefs - lack depth, recognition, compassion, and spirit. They are sky people, full of consumption, self-esteem, greedy and fun certainty. From generations to generations, for them and their companions for us - many of us swallowed - These truths and lies are built on anger and fear. Of course, this is crazy. As Michael Azema said, "People are absorbed in ordinary life ... stop it and deny it ... and the lives of their children are threatened ... they are myself Assuming that they do not even care about their lives, people seem to think that they really want to die rather than care about their lives. "

Fitzgerald's "Hollowman" is a poem, Elliott's "Great Gatsby" is a novel, but in the jazz era, both created similar themes and emotions. Both of them saw the shallowness and emptiness of people and the goals of self-quest. One of the only differences is that Fitzgerald makes readers desperate for future changes; and Eliot gives the appearance that makes a difference.

"Lighting" only highlights the very dark period of Elliott's life, but it can be said that it is around the writing of "white male". The most important image of man as "sky people" is powerful and annoying. In the context of a spiritual journey, I will compare it to "experience of the wilderness." Like the Israelites who came out of Egypt, Elliott does not seem to have direction or hope. Even if their stuffing is dead grass, "Sky man" is not completely empty, "Hats are full of straw Hello" They have no life "There is no shape, no color No shadow, scorpion's power, no movement posture. Life is meaningless, death seems to be the master of life and death. "Another kingdom of death" I like the power of poetry here. Elliot puts together a strong idea like 'the power of bondage' and shows them to cancel each other, leaving emptiness. Lord, how many people are there in my enemies?
