T. S. Eliot and Modern Literature

"The Hollow Men" is a mirror to reflect the circumstances of post-war society, in which people suffering from lack of faith, religion, morality and true belief in a certain religion. The poet described the human beings of his age as hollow men, which are filled with straw and their inner side is empty of any kind of true religion. This leads to the question about the existence of God. In part three of the poem, the religious promises are depicted as the opposing illusion of the suffering of real world. In part four, the disputing of God is proposed. In the fifth part, refusing religious beliefs is proposed and then the outcome of the world that is filled with the empty men has been shown.
