How does Eliot depersonalize the speaker in The Waste Land? Is the speaker a “character” in The Waste Land? Is he even the speaker of the poem? Who is/are the speaker(s) of the poem, and how does answering this question help make sense of the fragmentary nature of the poem as a whole? The speaker of “The Love Song of J.

What is the effect in The Waste Land of not having a single speaking voice to guide us through an equally (if not more so) agonizing psychological landscape?
