REVIEW:
This article provides a comprehensive and deeply insightful analysis of the metaphoric and symbolic structures in the poetry of T.S. Eliot. The author successfully examines the role of metaphors and symbols across several of Eliot’s most celebrated works, including "The Waste Land," "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," and "Four Quartets." The research combines literary theory with close textual analysis and demonstrates an advanced understanding of modernist poetics.
The strength of the paper lies in its thematic organization, its engagement with both Western and Eastern literary contexts, and its use of scholarly references. The discussion highlights the spiritual, philosophical, and psychological dimensions of Eliot’s symbols. Concepts such as the Fisher King, temporal and cyclical symbolism, and the use of the objective correlative are explored with clarity and academic rigor.
The article effectively contextualizes Eliot’s metaphors within his broader religious and philosophical evolution, particularly focusing on the transformation from despair and fragmentation in his early work to spiritual reconciliation and unity in his later poems. References to Eliot's Christian influences, as well as comparative insights from Uzbek literary scholars, add depth and originality to the study.
To enhance clarity and reader engagement, a few areas may benefit from improved structure and the integration of more concise summaries within each major section. Additionally, providing brief annotated interpretations of some key metaphors might enhance accessibility for readers less familiar with Eliot's style.
The language used is academically appropriate, and citations are relevant and well-structured. The article makes a valuable contribution to the field of comparative literature, particularly within the scope of symbolic and metaphorical analysis.
