 +
[[Decoding "The Burial of the Dead"]] is an original essay in progress which looks at the hidden
 +
 +
Biblical language of "The Burial of the Dead" using Biblical allusions used in the Anglican service
 +
 +
[[Order for the Burial of the Dead]], as well as the Biblical allusions central to the section
 +
 +
itself, as catalogued below. By concentrating on frequently occurring terms in these Biblical
 +
 +
allusions, and cross-referencing them, as well as by a literary comparison of the "Order" and of
 +
 +
the "Burial," the essay attempts to address Eliot's complex vision of the future of the Western
 +
 +
world, as it emerges from the ruins of social decay.
 +
 +
I will look specifically at tone words and how frequently they occur, versus how the Biblical allusions lend to an understanding of this
 +
 +
section of the poem.
