なぜThe Waste Land was written in the aftermath of World War I, reflecting the disillusionment and despair of the post-war generation. It explores themes of fragmentation, cultural decay, and the search for meaning in a chaotic world. Eliot's use of diverse literary allusions and a fragmented narrative structure mirrors the complexity and disarray of modern life.
