A Comparative Study of the Poem, "Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season" by Forugh Farrokhzad with the Poem "The Waste Land" by T.S. Eliot

Although T.S. Eliot's "The Waste Land" and Forugh Farrokhzad's "Let Us Believe in the Beginning of the Cold Season" seem to be different formally, in essence they have a correlated basis of similarity of views in modern men. The aim of this study is to analyze the comparative study of these two poems in order to demonstrate the proof effectiveness of Forugh Farrokhzad from T.S. Eliot’s views. This study relied on the analytical method and by taking advantage of the library notes in order to achieve the main objective of this research. The results indicate that both these poems at the beginning and the ending have equally important ways. These poems are the texts which are ripped and shredded and are not cohesive in appearance; but the presence of seemingly unrelated structures and broken images in these poems have a targeted strategy for inducing anxiety of modern man and human social breakdown in these poets era. Allusions, which are the most important forms of intertextuality in these two poems, show that both the poets made their poetry into the space where a variety of concepts and images manifested in classical literature and originated religious texts in the line with the criticism of modern man.  In these both poems, combining each image with another one has made meaning throughout the poem. Similar thoughts and their shared imageries in these poems express the unity of the needs of modern men with consistency problems and problems of modern life.
