| + | [[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. | ||
