- Continuing my analysis of TS Eliot's iconic poem The Waste Land for part 2: analyzing the rest of The Burial Of The Dead, drawing out its deeper meaning, themes, and emotion through my own interpretations.
My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.

Plz complete the entire poem.... Truly wonderful explanation
This has long been one of my favorite poems but you’ve opened my mind to a lot I’d never considered. Please continue, and then do Prufrock. This is fantastic.
Just discovered the chanel, but it's quickly becoming one of my favourites
when is the last good will hunting scene coming 💀💀
plz complete the poem
Your analysis was so on point, comprehensible and valuable to me. I feel sorry you didn't finish the whole piece, you are clearly excellent in doing this challenging task. Hope you will come back to this eventually! But if not thanks for this!
Continue please!
Been binging what I can of your content before mid-terms, and you’re fantastic m8.
Dark Tower dudes!
can you complete this analysis of the entire poem? i would be happy to sponsor the project...otherwise I feel as if in a rat's alley, where the dead men lost their bones
I think your interpretation is very good! I'd like to point out some other possible interpretations though, if I may:
Thank you thank you thank you for explaining this poem. Every time I went over it in school it was described only as a Where's Waldo of literary references and nothing else. No one talked about the overall message and purpose.
(Part the Second) 2) The figures who are "flowing" along London Bridge in the Unreal City could be the dead, symbolically crossing the bridge to the next world. That's why they're described as flowing, like they're drifting in a current, as if this is just a reversal of the real world and the real London Bridge, and it also gives context to the line "I had not thought death had undone so many". Living people don't normally move that way in a crowd -- they push, jostle, run ahead, or simply walk with purpose. So Eliot is calling out to one of the dead that he recognizes, Stetson, but in the manner of the dead, Stetson doesn't reply back. That leads me to think that Stetson's corpse in his garden is his own corpse. It's probably not meant as a literal corpse, but rather the death of all of Stetson's hopes and dreams, everything that died with him, that will never have a chance to grow.
Nice take again,
Thank you for this clear and stimulating analysis of the first part of "The Waste Land". I think the visual presentation and the music are perfect for the mood and themes of this poem. There's not enough of this kind of content on CZcams, so chapeau!
Absolutely outstanding video - thank you for it.
Best explanation music
Beautiful interpretation! Would love to hear your thoughts on the rest of the poem! Or maybe on some other Eliots other works (i.e. Preludes or Prufrock)
I wish this had been finished... you have a perspective on the poem I want to hear completed.
This is so good
