Furthermore, it is not problematic that the reader is unable to identify a single speaker, as the distance that is created between the poem and the reader is a stylistic choice made by the poet. One of the sole functions of The Waste Land is

The waste land has direct sunlight for some parts of the day, but at some times of the day, the fence or the tree will provide shade. This therefore means that the fescue and other organisms can grow easily as the water will not evaporate and the chlorophyll will

    Jessica Joy T.S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land” Final Paper Eliot imparts to us the Grail quest’s influence on “The Waste Land” in the notes: “Not only the title, but the plan and a good deal of the incidental symbolism of the poem were suggested by Miss Jessie L.
