Misogyny And The Religious Sensibility In T. S. Eliot’s Sweeney Agonistes
Authors : Bellour Leila .
Abstract
This paper evinces that T. S. Eliot’s poem, Sweeney Agonistes, is stunningly misogynistic. Sexuality is represented as a lapse into animality and savagery. It is intertwined with murder, cannibalism, and animality. In the poem, the sensual triumphs over the spiritual side. Thus, the quest for religious salvation is to atone for the sin of sexuality. As the paper vindicates, separation from the feminine becomes a requirement for human and spiritual evolution. Of utmost significance, Sweeney’s religious sensibility is the result of his disavowal of women.
