9:33Now PlayingWhat does T.S. Eliot have to say about human relationships?
Welcome back to Pens and Poison! We’re finally back with our five part The Waste Land analysis series, where we’ll be taking a look at each of the sections of the poem. Today, we’ll be analysing “A Game of Chess,” the second part of T.S. Eliot’s monumental 20th century poem about the futility of human intimacy.
Join me in my analysis of T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land," where we'll learn all about the many allusions that make this work come to life and discover what Shakespeare and Ovid have to do with the theme of fertility in "A Game of Chess."
Special thank you to composer Nathaniel Lindstrom for providing the track “Quartz Moth” for today’s sound effects.
