Literary modernism was marked by a sense of loss of meaning and impending doom—at both an individual/psychological level (dehumanization, alienation) and a social/cultural/global level (institutional collapse, apocalypse).
Write an argumentative essay of approximately 750 words arguing what kind(s) of antidote(s) to this predicament that Modernist writers suggest, through their poems, fiction, and/or drama. What can human beings do to stave off these destructive forces and find some kind of fulfillment? What might societies need to do in order to avoid destruction?
