Abstract

The paper attempts to make a critical analysis of The Wasteland which justifies Plato’s belief about art. Plato’s concept of ‘mimesis’ led to rejection of art and poetry as merely projection of sex, anger and other bodily pleasures which has a harmful effect on the rational disposition of individual. Eliot was not left behind and one step further to plunge into the wild waters of sexuality, revealing a remarkable sexual encounters through imageries which are rarely accounted for curative effect to the crazy world. Indeed, these sexual imageries are presented in most horrible picture which surely intended to spoil and demoralize the minds of the youth.
