D. This story was interesting because of the mysterious aspect of who the hollow men might be. At the very beginning they are described as being stuffed and having their headpieces filled with straw. This gives the impression that they might be scarecrows, but if you analyze that closely it might actually be a way of comparing people who are unable to contribute much to society except for scaring things off, much like a scarecrow.
E. This story is also depressing and dark in many ways. One quote that helps show this is, “Those who have crossed with direct eyes, to death’s other Kingdom” This quote gives the whole story a very dark feeling right from the beginning because it is talking about death and despair. It also later goes on to say “in death’s dream kingdom” which leads me to believe that it is also focused on the human psyche, which is common for modernists.
C. In general I was confused by this reading and it was hard to understand. I had to read it over many times and still wasn’t able to fully understand the reading. It was hard to understand and the language used throughout made it that much harder to understand fully.
