The Waste Land


1. Sometimes, when we try to compare two things, we came to know that they both were not wrong as they both were right in their opinions.Nietzsche identified objective and valueless 'knowledge' and the chaotic inner world of modern humanity. Übermensch is a Garman word, it means Above-Human or Superman. It is character which introduce by Nietzsche in his work that mention here. T. S. Eliot describes in The Waste Land human subject not of judgment and reason but desires, primitive forces and unconscious motivations.


2.Freud gave importance to free outlet of basic instinct. To fulfill it is more important. It is basic desire. So there is nothing wrong. Which was earlier believe to be. But this freedom which Western society into chaotic life. But this thing lead them towards spiritual degradation, people burning with lust, spiritual draught, chaos in society.Here T. S. Eliot has written that “salvation of man lies in the preservation of cultural tradition to revive faith in god- he writes like this and gave solution to preservation of cultural tradition. Thus, both Freud and Eliot gave their views. It is true that free vent to the repressed primitive lead to happy life, but it should be in limited way. The real problem is that Freud had not told what people are doing. So both things are important, but in its limit.

3. Here T. S. Eliot comes with words likes In brihadaranyaka Upanishad Datta. Dayadhvam. Damyata. It is interpreted as "Datta" by men which means "give" as men are naturally avaricious. the sound as "Dayadhavam" which means "compassion" as they are cruel. Eliot concludes the poem by giving the word "Shantih Shanith Shantih”. So here we can see many words related to Indian thoghts.
