THE USE OF METAPHORS AND SYMBOLS IN T.S. ELIOT AND EZRA POUND'S POETRY

This paper investigates the extensive use of metaphors and symbols in the poetry of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound, two leading figures of Anglo-American literary modernism. It analyzes how both poets revolutionized poetic language by embedding complex metaphors and rich symbolic structures within their works to capture the disjointed nature of the modern world. Through a comparative literary analysis, this research highlights how metaphors and symbols contribute to the emotional and philosophical depth of Eliot’s and Pound’s poetry, shaping the aesthetics and intellectual framework of the modernist movement.
