In T.S. Eliot's poem "The Waste Land," various references to works of William Shakespeare are made. Here’s a breakdown of the references made to the other plays:
Hamlet: In "The Waste Land," there is a clear reference to "Hamlet." The poem quotes the famous line from Hamlet, "Good night, ladies, good night, sweet ladies, good night, good night."
Coriolanus: Eliot's poem includes a direct reference to "Coriolanus." The lines “Revive for a moment a broken Coriolanus” and “Coriolanus” in the context of the poem are unmistakable.
The Tempest: The poem refers to "The Tempest" with the line “Those are pearls that were his eyes. Look!” which is a direct reference to a line from Ariel's song in "The Tempest."
