In this video : wasteland has been seen recorded by critics as response to war that is first world war.second and first world war played vital role in giving rise to or spread existential angst, the idea of nothingless, idea of meaninglessness fragmented life, brokenness shattered mirror image.

Diseases are highly individual with diseases we fight internal battel in war soldiers fight battels. war became recorded in our mind than the diseases becomes very personal battel. like war we can count economoic loss, count body in pandemic as well.

Elizabeth Outka says may be because these reasons these are the interpretation that she is making there it's difficult to memorialize a pandemic because diseases makes feel helpless. waste land as a pandemic poem we can find some letters written by T.S. eliot in which he mentions he and his wife were influenza infected in december 1918. 

we decode not only influenza but virus as his wife and it was also a domestic life. 


 In this video: The waste land not only captures elements of the pandemics acute phase at both the individual and collective level.

It's atmosphere is also saturated with the two most common outcome of the ourbreak : - Death and on innervated living death.

the poem is full of  dead bodies, the opening corpse the opening lines it is the point of view of buried body it is the corpse.
