I think this play needs more than one read through to fully understand everything. I’m 100% sure this will be bumped up to a 4 start after my second time through

"Ah, but we die to each other daily.
What we know of other people
Is only our memory of the moments
During which we knew them. And they have changed
since then."

I think somehow Exiled and The Jeweller's Shop fit perfectly with this one. The crisis of marriage, infidelity, and a sense of sin that apparently needs to be buried in the age of psychological analysis. Refreshing, brilliant and ever relevant, this has been my first reading of T.S. Eliot's literary production, and I'm not one bit disappointed. To be able to read human nature this well only can be possible for someone like him. Classical in nature and conception, since it mostly respects Aristotle's principles in Poetics, yet with the threatening hopelessness of the postmodern world lurking in the shadows.

'If we were all judged accordingly to the consequences
Of all our words and deeds, beyond the intention
And beyond our limited understanding
Of ourselves and others, we should all be condemned.' -- Reilly, The Cocktail Party
