1THE WOMEN FIGURES IN “THE WASTELAND”
Abstract:
The following research paper deals with the female characters of T.S Eliot’s poem,
“The Waste Land”, which deals with the theme of the uselessness and futility of the modern
society and the life. Through the portrayal of the women characters, the poet brings forth the
main theme and context of the poem. Through the introduction of the females such as
Tiresias, the German princess Countess Tarie Larisch, the Hyacinth Girl, Madame Sosostris,
the rich lady Belladonna and Li, T.S Eliot aims to expose the gruesome reality of the society,
where sex remains to be just an entertainment and not something that is spiritual or has
moral values.
