Question

T.s. eliot's the wasteland has opening lines which echo the opening lines of geoffrey chaucer's canterbury tales. however, the feelings conveyed vary greatly. which best analyzes this difference?

Answer 1

I had to look for the options and here is my answer. Based on T.S Eliot's "The Wasteland", it consists of opening lines that are quite connected to Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales" opening lines but the feelings expressed are different. Therefore, the statement that shows this difference is this: The imagery in The Waste Land describes April as cruel, but Chaucer portrays the showers of April as sweet and bathing the roots of flowers. Hope this helps.
