Wait how is hollow hinting at religious redemption?
because it talks about the consequences about the modern thought and straying from religion so it kind of hints that religious belief is necessary and then some bits of it hint towards desperation. So eliot is trying to convince people basically to "come back to the light" and that there is still hope otherwise your situation is not going to be pretty. I hope that makes sense lol. idk how else to explain it.

It's hinting at it if you work in "chronology" and end with Magi. Eliot shows the complete and utter misery these soldiers are going through to the point where they can't face their faith in religion, which in turn, exacerbates their suffering. So if you had a para on Hollow and followed it with a para on Magi, you'd be arguing that Hollow is the suffering while Magi is the religious redemption

i can't help but feel like mod b will be an extract and mod a will lean more generic... or maybe my feelings are trying to manifest reality...😞

okay another question. How are you supposed to prepare in case they ask to use a character from your prescribed text in mod c?? I didn't even read my prescribed texts and their super boring

my texts are:
Nam Le's short story Love and honour...
Zaddie Smith's discursive That Crafty Feeling
and someone's poem Father and child

Or what if they say from another module. like what do we do Abigail williams x Prufrock or what??

rhapsody is inspired by cubist and bergsonian philosophies about how time is subjective and things can be viewed from multiple perspectives simultaneously. it compares really beautiful imagery with desolate and dreary imagery inspired by his own context and critique of modernism to talk about and criticise how empty modern society is

To me, rhapsody is Eliot describing a guy literally high on drugs. Or maybe Eliot was on drugs. It's just an amalgamation of modernist uncertainty and social decay in 1911. It's kinda just like if Prufrock wasn't in a personal perspective

ohh if you still have it share? i haven't read enough on it to talk about it properly
He practised French conversation with friends, attended Bergson's lectures, frequented bars and nightclubs, absorbing the atmosphere and looking for some meaning behind the “sordid images” of the streets and cafés. Although we have no documentary evidence, it seems very probable that as a former student of art Eliot attended the Cubist exhibitions. There are striking correspondences between early Cubist art and the poems Eliot was working on at this time—“Prufrock”, the third and fourth parts of “Preludes”, “Rhapsody on a Windy Night” and the almost completed “Portrait of a Lady”. One hesitates to insist on a direct influence, but there are always parallel lines of development, cross currents, links, both conscious and unconscious, between writers, thinkers and artists living at the same time. It is possible that in the canvases being exhibited and discussed in Paris at the time, Eliot found tendencies that chimed with his own. He certainly had not found any inspiration in contemporary poetry. Looking back on this period, Eliot wrote that he could not then think of “a single living poet, in either England or America … at the height of his powers, whose work was capable of pointing the way to a young poet conscious of the desire for a new idiom”.3 It seems therefore not unlikely that Cubist art suggested technical possibilities which reinforced those he had absorbed from his literary mentors, the French poets Baudelaire, Laforgue and Corbière, and the Elizabethan dramatists.

SORRY ABT THE GIANT BLOCK OF TEXT HAHA. This isn't EXACTLY what I read but it's pretty spot on.
