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.
