"The Waste Land" by T.S. Elliot
I decided to go into detail about the section "A Game of Chess". This section seemed to have more than one scene. The opening scene I portrayed was a woman in this room that had stained glass, and Elliot was describing her with the beautiful things in that room including the chair and the glass. However, as the poem goes on it seems she becomes somewhat dillusional and it makes her psychotic. The next scene I picked up was a woman that was possibly accompanied by maids and a butler because there is someone questioning her actions, along with someone telling her to "HURRY UP". I think she is being told this because her husband is coming home from the army, and she needs to look her absolute best for him. The sections ends with them saying their good nights. This sections of the poem, has many possibilities which makes it difficult to comprehend. However, this is my favorite section of the poem because it was easier to relate to considering it talks about women and their circumstances.
