I have chosen The Waste Land poem by T.S. Eliot for my image essay.
Looking through the poem I noticed that Madame Sosostris, when gives a card reading in part 1 referes to other characters later on in the poem. The drowned Phoenician Sailor is Phelbas the Phoenician in Part 4 Death by Water. The One-eyed merchant could by Mr Eugenides, the Smyrna Merchant. Madame Sosostris also says "fear death by water" which is also references Part 4. In Eliots notes about the poem, the hanged man Sosostris could not see could be "the third who walks always beside you?". This quote is from Part 5 What the Thunder said.
The ten images will be mainly based on Madame Sosotris and the cards she delt and the characters linked to the cards later on in the poem.
Other research I have found out include that Belladonna means "Beautiful lady"in Italian and is also another word for Deadly Nightshade a poisonous plant. I have found out that Phoenicia was an ancient civilization which used to be in the middle east, and that Smyrna was an ancient trading city which existed around the same time.
