Explication: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”
“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T. ... Eliot, talks about the issues of love and also of self-awareness. Through his use of Prufrocks self-consciousness he messes with the readers expectations of a Love Song and takes a serious perspective on the subject of love. Prufrock feels that his hell and the fate of his life are more in his own mind and have less to do with the people around him. The issue of his fate leads Prufrock to an overwhelming question which is never identified, asked, or answered in the poem.
Prufrock is unhappy with the nature of his appearance but he is fearful of what others will have to say about him. ... Prufrock is insecure and frightened of peoples reactions to his balding head and slim, aging body. ... Prufrock has difficulty communicating with people. ...
Prufrock feels that he lacks of self-worth. In fact, to Prufrock, the issue is extremely important because the fate of his life depends on it. ... There were basically two classes - rich and poor, neither of which Prufrock really fits into. Eliot creates the idea of Prufrock being caught between the two classes in the very beginning of the poem, when he imagines the images of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels/ And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells(4-5) and the women who come and go Talking of Michelangelo.
