Abstract

The unprecedented bloodshed, terror, and violence that blanketed Europe during World War I left the people at the War's end saddened and detached, and the world, "chaotic and fragmented" (Tepper, p.79). Over ten million people had died, had been slaughtered, not counting those who later fell from the wounds, diseases, poverty, and starvation in which the Great War had abandoned them. The people of Europe stood motionless, still shocked from the "suffered occupation and carnage [they had experienced] at a previously unimaginable level" during the War (p.75). The poet T.S. Eliot was among these disenchanted, dissociated Europeans, having himself lost his "intimate friend" Jean Verdenal, "a young French medical student and aspiring poet," to the merciless, bloodthirsty War (Dean, p.51).
