The poem begins with two epigraphs alluding to two examples of "Hollow Men," one from fiction, the other from history. Then we are introduced to the main characters: a group of scarecrows leaning together. These Hollow Men narrate the poem in a chorus. They lament their condition: their bodies paralyzed, their language meaningless.
