T.S Elliot’s “Gerontion” is a poem in which I met with
much difficulty as I attempted to read and interpret this particular work. I
believe that Elliot’s purpose of making the poem difficult to understand is
significant to its meaning. The man in the poem is reflecting on the life he
lived, and he has lost his purpose and has failed to understand the meaning of
his life now that he is older. Just like the poem is complex in understanding,
the man’s purpose of life is difficult to understand as well.
