OBJECTIVE CORRELATIVES
“The only way of expressing emotion in the form of
art is by finding an “objective correlative”; in other
words, a set of objects, a situation, a chain of events
which shall be the formula of that
particular emotion; such that when the external
facts, which must terminate in sensory experience,
are given, the emotion is immediately evoked.”
- T. S. Eliot, “Hamlet and his Problems”
