The article discusses the poem "The Hollow Men" by T. S. Eliot, with particular attention paid to the question of whether the "hollowness" of the title characters represents a nihilistic attitude towards the future or a sense of possibility. The themes of death, rebirth, and spiritual renewal are also examined.
