Asked by Ciara

What can you conclude that the Shadow represents in Part V of “The Hollow Men”? Use one or two details from the poem to support your interpretation.

The last stanza is repetitive, saddening and hopeless, following the general impression of the poem.

“Here we go ‘round the prickly pear
Prickly pear, prickly pear.”

I suspect no one here has read this poem. Again, Ciara, please name the author so that we might look it up.

Alright, I found it. it's by T. S. Eliot. Yes, I agree with your interpretation. The last stanza sums it up, and the repetitive first stanza also implies the hopelessness of the tone of the poem, that life is empty and repetitive.
