Alienation
One of the underlying themes of Twentieth Century writers has been to point out the increasing alienation of people from their families, communities and society. It seems the more technologically advanced we become and the more compartmentalized our lives are, the more difficult it is to remain connected to our humanity. Authors and poets warn us about alienation and its effect on us. They give us examples in their stories or poems like The Glass Menagerie by T. Williams, In Another Country by E. Hemingway, or The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. All these have examples of how alienation affects human beings, and foreshadow what will happen if we don't change ourselves. In The Glass Menagerie by T. Williams, everyone experiences their own little world, and the shock is
The story is about soldiers abroad who are in the hospital treating their injuries. Alfred Prufrock is a poem about a man that is very shy and he's going through all this thinking because he is afraid to talk to a woman. He is a symbol of people who alienate themselves from the society, and they become so alienated that it is impossible to go back to a normal life. By hanging out on the fire escape, he alienates himself from Amanda. Depending on technology available to us we fall into patterns and forget about our humanity. He should find things he cannot lose. " One theme of the story is that human beings depend on machines, and that the machines cannot do everything for us. He tries to please his mother, Amanda, by being the supporter, but only gets rewarded by Amanda's constant nagging and suspicion. They all are connected to some kind of machines and the machines are supposed to help them recover. Especially the rich people who want to be separated from "the filthy, sturdy, unkillable infants of the very poor"(The Garden, Ezra Pound). Eventually Tom finds himself more like his father and he seeks adventure in the movies and desperately seeks the life he always desired. He should not place himself in a position to lose.
