 Doris and Dusty are two lower middle class London prostitutes who appear in T.S. Eliot's play "The Waste Land." The Waste Land is a modernist poem that was published in 1922 and is considered one of the most important works of 20th century literature.


Doris and Dusty appear in the third section of the poem, which is titled "The Fire Sermon." The section describes a series of encounters between different people in London, and the two prostitutes are mentioned as part of this narrative.


Their appearance in the poem reflects Eliot's interest in exploring the darker aspects of modern urban life, including prostitution and sexual desire. The use of characters like Doris and Dusty also reflects Eliot's interest in using a range of voices and perspectives in his work, as part of his larger exploration of the fragmentation of modern experience.


Overall, the appearance of Doris and Dusty in "The Waste Land" highlights Eliot's ability to capture the complexities and contradictions of modern life in his work.
