In the last part of the first section of “The Waste Land” Eliot concerns about the city, in particular London, symbol of capitalism and modern society.

 According to Eliot People in London seem to be damned when they go to work, because they don’t want to change and they don’t have any hope to change their routine.

Thank of this state of people, Eliot relates people’s state to hell and limbo as Dante in his work “divina Commedia”.

During this part there is another figure: he is Stetson and he is compared to Ezra Puond.

Besides, underlining the idea of cosmopolitan of modernists, Eliot makes another universe meaning, at London state, talking about the battle of Milazzo (First Battle Punica).

At the end he gives a prove of human’s stupidity talking about “Les Fleurs du mal” of  Charles Baudelaire.
