        <description><![CDATA[Another perspective on the Italian epigraph in which the man in Hell tells a visitor that he would never tell his story if there were a chance that it would get back to living ears is that in his neurosis Prufrock, like the man in Hell, retreats into an interior monologue:  one that cannot be heard by "living ears."  Thus, the poem becomes a young man's agonizing over a woman he loves.  This exercise in futility suggests the isolation of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[At the very beginning of the play, there is a quote, in old Italian, from an old author named Dante.  Dante is famous for writing "The Divine Comedy," or, "The Inferno."  This tale is about the various different levels of Hell.  We are taken on a journey through the different levels; each level is for different types of crimes, the lowest level being reserved for traitors to God.  Anyway, the quote that Eliot references refers to a man in...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[In "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock", TS Eliot tries to portray the unhealthy and perverted city life using the symbols of cat &amp; fog. This perversion is of both sorts- Inner (or moral) &amp; sexual. In addition to that, when the adjective YELLOW is uttered, a sick, Jaundice-like mood gets created. Thus, style supports the theme.
And what's the use of the personification, the question arises. In his dramatic monologue, Eliot has superbly...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Scholars and critics alike agree that the "overwhelming question" that is the focus of all of Prufrock's ponderings in the poem is most likely a marriage proposal, or a question of a woman's feelings for him.  He obviously cares for a woman, is intimidated by her, has spent time with her, and wants to speak his heart to her.  He either wants to propose and get an answer, or to reveal his love for her and have her reveal how she feels for...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Through his distancing himself from the subject, but then showing a close intensity to it, Prufrock reveals his intense desire to not care about this woman, but how he struggles mightily with that, because he does care, quite a bit.  It is like having a super big crush on someone, but because you are afraif of rejection, trying to brush it off as nothing huge, brush off the guy or girl as not that stellar, in order to protect yourself from...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[It may signify that Prufrock's emotion has changed, from where he is portraying his emotions on his past, his achievements and how time is going so fast, each day that passes Prufrck is getting older and older

Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bold)

and fearing of death-(refering back to Dante's extract) Prufrock fears of his fate in death weither he is to suffer in an internal torment.

        <description><![CDATA["The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a modernistic poem that is written in the style of stream-of-consciousness writing.  That means that Eliot has Prufrock spill his thoughts onto the paper without editing or filtering them--whatever pops into Prufrock's head, in whatever order, is what gets put down, whether it is in logical sequence or not.  The poem follows the stream of thoughts that Prufrock has.  Because of this style, because of...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[Modernism is a style of writing that showcases characters who are alienated and have difficulty communicating with one another, experimental writing styles, a theme of how industrialization leads to unhappiness and isolation, and using symbolism and setting to represent mood and meaning.  All of these features can be found in "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," which in essence, is a dramatic monologue.  The style of a dramatic monologue...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[One obvious place where this juxtaposition of elevated versus ordinary language occurs after the lines 'I grow old, I grow old/I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled. Do I dare to eat a peach? I shall wear white flannel trousers and walk upon the beach." These lines are fairly ordinary speech. But they are then followed by a flight of fancy that is somewhat more formal and poetic: 'I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.' This...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[The love that Prufrock has for the woman that he wants to speak to is an overwhelming feeling.  He is so consumed by it that he spends a lot of time thinking about it...so much time that we have the feeling that he thinks about it often throughout his day, and his mind wanders from subject to subject, always coming back to his feelings for her.  During the course of the poem, he discusses walks, the decrepit city, his obession with his low...]]></description>

        <description><![CDATA[violaazad,
T.S. Eliot published “Prufrock” in England in 1917 and in America in 1920, causing such a stir of praise and disapproval that by 1922 he probably was the most discussed of living American poets. Eliot insisted that the poet must “be able to see beneath both beauty and ugliness; to see the boredom, and the horror, and the glory” of contemporary society. Prufrock’s monologue was a classic statement of the disconnectedness...]]></description>
