Eliot essay (1 Viewer)

[Meaperism]

Quick question, is it necessary to put hollow men and magi together in an essay because, like people keep telling me, they always go together. My school is having a writing exam this week and the question is

‘The superficiality and pretensions of the urban landscape reduce individuals to nothing more than objects, depicting a life full of monotony and misery.’ To what extent is this statement true of T.S Eliot’s poetry?'

I was planning to use Prufrock, Prelude and Hollow men, don't wanna use Magi because I don't wanna include the spiritual salvation

there's no necessity to pair any specific one of TS eliot's poems with another. they tend to almost always be from the same vantage point anyway. some questions will make certain poems easier to work with than others. those three poems seem fine for that question.

I wrote about Preludes, Love song, and JOTM. So no, you don't need to. Scored a raw 19/20 in the HSC exam. You can do any combination as long as it works. In English, you earn marks based on your analysis, structure etc. So if your analysis is great, you can access full marks regardless of your poems.

also, you don't need to write about spiritual salvation for JOTM. I actually wrote about the opposite (i.e. how the persona was still vapid of spiritual fulfilment).
