| + | ====Things to address==== | ||
| + | * The extreme distance of the final few paragraphs (the Ganges, India) from the rest of the poem. Eliot seems to be looking elsewhere, eastwards, for renewal to the wasteland he sees in Europe. | ||
| + | * The inclusion of not only Europe, but parts of Africa and Asia as well, under the umbrella of the wasteland. Eliot may not just be talking about London. "Unreal City" begins to apply not only to London but to Alexandria, to Vienna, to Athens, etc. | ||
| + | * Imperialism. Good or bad? Eliot seems to advocate it because it will draw in new life that the British empire seems to have lost. Does this sound crazy? | ||
