Name of The Waste Land The title of the poem draws its significance from the Fisher King legend. The Fisher King sins against God, who then punishes him by making him sexually impotent. The disability of the King is reflected on his hand, so that his kingdom becomes a waste land. Hence the title. To restore the King to virility(男子特点) and his land to fertility, a quest is undertaken to search for the Holy Grail. The quester does not have to get the Grail, but he must come to the right place and ask the right question about the nature of the Holy Cup. His question would be enough to make the well and young and his land fertile again. If he fails to ask the right question, the King would remain sexually wounded and his kingdom a waste land. In fact, this poem is the quest of finding the spiritual support. At last, through compassion, sacrifice and restraint, rain will come and the waste land will be saved.

What the Thunder Said Style ---dramatic monologue The style of the work in part grows out of Eliots interest in exploring the possibilities of dramatic monologue(独白). This interest dates back at least as far as The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. Of course, The Waste Land is not a single monologue like Prufrock. Instead, it is made up of a wide variety of voices (sometimes in monologue, dialogue, or with more than two characters speaking). CVName: Thomas Stearns Eliot (T. S.
