Although not as direct as Arnold, pieces of Tennyson's broken faith can be found hidden in the lines of his poems "The Eaters of Lotus” and “Ulysses”. Tennyson's poetry reflected how the Victorians felt lost, alone, without the trust of a divine being dictating their lives. Unlike Arnold, he had a certain air of hope sprinkled throughout his melancholy. In “The Lotos Eaters,” Tennyson opens with Odysseus and his sailors stranded on the island known from The Odyssey as being inhabited by a people who do nothing but eat the fruit of a plant that puts you in a euphoric state of lethargy. Here, his interlocutor is conflicted between his Victorian side, his hopes of returning home and fulfilling his duty to his kingdom as well as his family, and his desire to ignore humanity and stay in the land of the Lotos, where everything seems to be, but nothing in reality. East. This refers to the Victorians who retained their beliefs even if they no longer had any basis. Eating lotos is described as involving abandoning external reality and living in "a country where everything always seemed the same". Through delicately crafted figurative language, Tennyson also alludes to the idea of ​​living in this untroubled world as cowardice. This showed his desire to keep things as they are, but knowing that change in life is necessary and he must indulge in the desire to continue his path into the future.
