Centering around with the marriage in 1915, in the poems that were written before the year we can find characters who are timid and indecisive. It is because Eliot grew up in the puritan family and so he controlled his passions in everything. In the poems that were written after the marriage we can find Eliot's negative views about women. It is because Eliot was influenced on his father and daughters thinking that “Sex and sin were the same thing” (Matthews 22) and on Vivienne's having a chronic nervous disease, a headache, and stomach cramps and on Vivienne's having been involved with not her husband but other men. In conclusion, Eliot transformed all the situations caused from Eliot's unhappy marriage with Vivienne into the materials for the poems. Especially we can find the negative views about women in his poetry written after the marriage.

In his critical essay, “Virgil and the Christian World,” On Poetry and Poets(1957), Eliot said that “a poet may believe that he is expressing only his private experience; his lines may be for him only a means of talking about himself without giving himself away.” His theory of impersonality is a way of talking about himself without giving himself away. He could escape from personality and emotion by throwing up all of his mental anguish which he had suffered from and then transforming it into the materials for the poems. Indeed several times he talked about how “every poet starts from his own emotions.” What he is trying to say, through the theory of impersonality, is that every poet should do his best to transform his personal experience and suffering into the materials that can be considered to be objective and general. But he has a contradiction in his impersonal theory by way of showing his experiences more personal than objective or general especially in the early poetry. Eliot used ‘persona’ figures in his poems, through whom his personal experiences and thoughts would be spoken indirectly by means of dramatic monologue. Eliot, who was raised in a Unitarian family, was a shy, timid, and self-conscious person. Using ‘persona’ was a proper way for Eliot to hide himself behind it and speak his own mind and feelings through it. In conclusion, the childhood memories of Eliot re-appear, are transformed and are charged with great imaginative pressure. It is believed that the biographical elements are the key to unraveling the mystery hidden in Eliot’s poetry.
