Modernist writers are credited with delving beneath the fa\u00e7ade of surface realities to expose inner truth. In \u201cThe Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,\u201d for instance, T.S. Eliot alludes to a patient etherized on a table, setting the tone of malaise that plagues the narrator of the poem though his surface reality is \u201cnormal\u201d. As such, the writer establishes a powerful theme of emptiness in his contemporary, post-war society.<\/p>\n
Choose two poems from the following list of poets from this week\u2019s readings and discuss one instance in which the poem delves beyond superficial concerns to unveil a deeper truth about society.<\/p>\n
Elaborate on what that deeper meaning is and how the poet uses poetic conventions to expose it. What does the work reveal about contemporary society? Additionally, \u201c[b]y the beginning of the twentieth century, there was an extraordinary range of \u2018American\u2019 issues for American writers to examine and explore\u2026\u201d (Cain, McDermott, Newman, & Wyss, 2014, p. 339). Contemporaries Hemingway, Faulkner, and Anderson examine a variety of these \u201cissues\u201d within this week\u2019s required readings. Formulate a response that addresses those concerns within the context of the overview of the time period provided in your textbook (339-356). Make specific connections to the authors\u2019 critique of American culture and society during Modernist Period, and support your thoughts and ideas with appropriate resources, including your textbook and outside research.
