The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock by T.S. Eliot
The Love Song of Alfred J. Prufrock is a poem written by T. S. Eliot, who introduces to the readers an fire question, which pertains to whether the main character, Alfred Prufrock, should overcome his indecisiveness and aid or continue in his soft and dull existence. Prufrock is not happy with the decisions he has made in conduct, and that fact is truly clear, as he tortures himself with internal strife throughout the poem. In the beginning lines of the poem, he enthusiastic eachy invites the reader, or possibly his fudge ego, on a journey in the night.However, he later describes half tumble-down streets holding insidious intent this scarcely paints a pleasant picture (Eliot 4,9). The streets depend to represent Prufrocks internal logical argument an internal debate that prevents him from taking achieve in the conflict Eliot uses to portray Prufrocks struggle, opening up to a women. Unfortunately, Prufrocks tendency is to have a coulomb visions and revisions, and eventua lly turn back and do the stair (Eliot 33,39). This refusal to act is the consequence of his unornamented fear of rejection and failure.His fear is simply a product of thought as he overly calculates his life, leaving a life unlived. To justify his decision, Prufrock says that he has known them all already, suggesting that all the women are the same, but in making the decision to not act, he delves deeper into a depleting future with no purpose (Eliot 49). Essentially, Prufrock convinces himself that he is satisfied with a substitute role in his own life, ground on the fear that he impart fail and be rejected. Therefore, Prufrock answers his question in a very unsatisfying way, as he chooses to remain comfortable.
