Here are the answers of blog task (The waste land).
1) What are your views on the
following image after reading 'The Waste Land'? Do you think that Eliot is
regressive as compared to Nietzche's views? or Has Eliot achieved universality
of thought by recalling mytho-historical answer to the contemporary malaise?
Yes I agree
with Friedrich Nietzche's concept of (ubermens) superman
in also sparch Zarathustra seems to be progressive and forward looking in
giving solution to the problem of contemporary crisis in faith and self. He believed
that tradition value represented a “slave morality”. Which is created by weak
and resentful individuals. While T.S.Eliot belives in god. We find many example
in his work which reflect his idea about the god like,
“who is the third who walks always beside you? When I count, there are
only you and I together but when I look ahead up the white road there is always
another one walking beside you?”.
2) Prior to
the speech, Gustaf Hellström of the Swedish Academy made these
remarks:
What are your views regarding these
comments? Is it true that giving free vent to the repressed 'primitive
instinct' lead us to happy and satisfied life? or do you agree with Eliot's
view that 'salvation of man lies in the preservation of the cultural
tradition'?
Yes I agree
with Eliot’s view that “salvation of man lies in the preservation of the
culture tradition: because he brings universality in his poem the waste land. He
integrates various culture, myth, and religion. He detects the problems of the
past and the problem periling during his time in the European civilization. He
took references of Buddhism, Christian and he fined solution from Indian
culture.
Thus the
savalation of man lies in the preservation of the culture tradition.

T.S.Eliot
has brought universality in his poem the waste land. He integrates various culture,
myth, and religion. He refresh to wisdom of Indian for spiritual salvation of
modern humanity by giving the reference of,
The title of
the third part “the fire sermon” is the part of an epic VINAYAPITAK. He also reference
the river GANGA.
“Ganga was sunken, and the
limp leaves
Waited for rain, while the black
clouds
Gathered far distant, over
Himavant.
The jungle crouched, humped in
silence.
Then
spoke the thunder”
He also use
the reference of DA
1.) Datta – giver
2.) Dayadhvam – compassion
3.) Damyata – self-control
2.) Dayadhvam – compassion
