Analysis of The Hollow Men, by T.S. Eliot

without a clear plan as to how to make it from one end to the other. Their final, failed struggle illustrates perfectly that, however terrifying the future may seem, anything it holds must be better than the pathetic whimpering of a life trapped in the scarecrow-filled nightmare of T.S. Eliot's "The Hollow Men."
