4. Critically analyse the poem ‘Enterprise’. What are the religious implications in the poem? 

“Enterprize” by Nissim Ezekiel is a satiric  poem with a moral. It deals with pilgrimages which serve no

purpose. The poet suggests  that religious pilgrimages are a  waste and abound in snobbery. In  “Enterprize” which contains the two central metaphors of his poetry – pilgrimage and home – Ezekiel reveals his attitude of commitment.

Besides, according to him, to please God one need not go on pilgrimages as He is within. The poem is in the form of a narrative. The narrator, the poet explains how he and some others started on a pilgrimage.The aim of the pilgrimage was to ennoble the  minds and to make the burdens  light. The pilgrimage had no hitch, to  start with. While, at the second stage, they did not know whether they got a call at all. Obviously, they had started casually, and impulsively.
