This connects directly to Psalm 137 where the communal lament there now exile after their captivity in Babylon. The departed not having an address connects to how the exiled are alone and are nowhere they are just existing in the desert and do have anything. The use of wept instead of longing for Jerusalem in Psalm shows a more negative connotation of rather than hoping just crying.

This dynamic is quite interesting, where the constant "HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME" repetition makes this conversation have a cyclical nature to it, bringing together the gossipy nature of the conversation with the inevitable mortality that we all must face. There is only so much time, and this woman is so worried that she will not be able to hear the gossip in time and is freaking out.

This connects to Hamlet and Ophillia drowning in how modern women are drowned, and individuality is taken by "strange synthetic perfumes, Unguent, powdered, or liquid." This drowning is different, but deep down is the same principle. Of women hiding their true selves by over loading alltimes of sents and liquids similar to how Ophillia drowns herself with water.

These lines directly connect to Dante's experience entering hell and seeing the bodies and people flowing in. It presents London very similarly to hell, and this is seen as the passage into the Inferno. This feeling of London seeming just like a commute connects this to an everyday obligation and inevitability rather than a fierce, passionate, and emotional sacrifice.

The use of German is so interesting because the Germans are partly responsible for the destruction of WW1 and they were the enemies of the UK. Their being responsible for the wasteland makes sense in context too. The translation says" To my homeland—my Irish child, where do you dwell?" is interesting as it makes it seem like the Germans are beckoning the Irish to come to their homeland yo die.

The original title of The Waste Land is so bizarre and does not seem related in the slightest. Firstly, the wasteland describes something lifeless and vacant. The other title, "He do the Police in Different Voices," decribes Police which are used to control groups of people. This shows a certain opposite nature of the two titles, as one describes a place with no life and the other one with so much life that they need police to control it.

This line is very interesting because the first line talk about how the warmth and life of April is cruel, and this line talks about how he travels south for the winter. Why would he travel south if he hates the warmth? This paradoxical relationship is puzzling, as though these lines the poem intensely lack life and this one line about heading for warmth and the life of the south just doesn't add up.

The Title "The Waste Land" is quite interesting. The poem is very abstract and all over the place, describing a lot of the world we live in, from life to death and everything in between. However, the word "Waste Land" means barren and lifeless, despite the first lines of the poem describing life and rebirth. This paradoxical relationship is quite interesting.
