The Wasteland Themes
Religion and Cult
It is exposed that man has lost his cult, and now has no interest to follow the rules and regulation of the religion. Religion had become a useless thing for him. According to the modern man, religion disallows them to be facilitated with the modern facilitations.
Bible has now become a very bore book for them and nothing more than it. Curiosity has been ended about the religion, and nobody wants to make research on it.
Gulf Between Past and Present
Past and present have had such a disconnection that it is felt now that the past was a separate world and the present is a separate world. The men have rudely cut the ropes which were the source of the connection to past and present. Impossibilities have been put in the way of the man to the past days. Past looks to be a dream and that is it.
Lost Culture
Culture is the recognition of a man. With the respect of the views of T.S Eliot about the modern man, culture has not vanished especially from the Christian communities. It’s not important to them what they are now and were they before.
Everyone wishes to have luxuries whether it is against their culture or to regenerate them. Because of these activities of the man the world has not only lost its cultures but has also lost the true colors of life. Tastelessness is everywhere.
