Abstract

The title of this graduating paper is Challenging the Faith: TS Eliot’s “The Hollow Men” and the Abolition of Religion. The writer chooses the religion theme because of some reasons. First, religion is more popular in modern time but most of people are not aware about the intervention of Capitalism inside its tenets. The condition stirs into the second reason that the criticism of religion is very important. Third, it is important too to show that even Islamic religion commands its followers for using their mind in considering religious tenets. The method of this research is a qualitative method that is done by applying descriptive analysis. The objectives of this study are to describe the ways of depicting religion and/or Christianity and religious followers in “The Hollow Men” poem and to show the contact between the depiction and the Islamic perspective. The theory used in this research is Marxist theory proposed by Karl Marx. Based on the theory, religion is part of superstructure that is used by Capitalism for legalizing their position as the high class in society. The analysis shows that there are five steps of depicting religion found in the poem. The result of this research concludes that the religion is shown as the thing that proposes the illusory happiness in people’s mind and the only solution for it is denying religion and God. On the contrary, Islamic perspective gives a different solution that is accepting the religion after cleaning it from the intervention of Capitalism.
