Abstract
This dissertation aims at pursuing the failure of love theme in T.S. Eliot's
above mentioned poems. In the Introduction, poetry- of Eliot, who is one of
the most outstanding figures of Modernist Poetry, ttnd the historical-social
facts wEich influenced his poetry- are discussed. In the light of the
phenomena, which appeared during the First World War and the
industrialization, such as Iruman isolation, lack of communication, disbelief
ai traditional beliefs and thoughts, how Eliot revealed the failure of love
theme in his poems is studied. In the Conclusion, It is pointed out that
Eliot's characters, each in his/her prison, are unable to speak and
commLinicate; these silent characters hopelessly look tor love which does
not exist anv more.
