Сирень и гиацинт: два символа печали в "Бесплодной земле" Т. С. Элиота

Abstract

В статье рассматривается символика образов цветов в одной из самых значительных поэм Т. С. Элиота "Бесплодная земля".

Several flowers are referred to in T. S. Eliot's poems which are used symbolically. The article “Lilacs and Hyacinths: Two Symbols of Sadness in T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land'” deals with research of symbolic meanings of the floristic imagery in the major poem by T. S. Eliot. The notion of the symbol with reference to modernism is unusual and polemic, so the authors examine the structure and essence of modernist symbols that evoke deep and unconscious responses in the reader focusing on terminological and theoretical aspects of the problem. Historical and archetypical approaches have been used to interpret and explore the meanings of lilacs and hyacinths in Eliot's 'The Waste Land'. The analytical survey has been carried out to demonstrate the peculiar use of two flowers mentioned in 'The Waste Land".
