T.S. Elliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” is about one mans frustration and misery on his quest to find some type of meaning of his existence. It begins with an invitation from Prufrock to follow him through his examination of himself. ... ” The imagery of the patient represents Prufrock’s self-examination. ... This treatment will be Prufrock’s examination of his life.
Prufrock then repeats his invitation and asks the reader to follow him along his cold and lonely domain. Prufrock’s description of the urban city is quite dull: “Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,/The muttering retreats/Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels/And sawdust restaurants with oyster shells;/Streets that follow like a tedious argument/Of insidious intent (4-9).” This is a lonely setting that Prufrock lives out his meaningless existence. ... ”
Prufrock goes on from the city onto his final destination; “the room women come and go/Speaking of Michelangelo (13-14). ... These lines suggest that Prufrock has seen these women “come and go,” suggesting that Prufrock has been around for some time (13). The line also implies that while others have come and gone from the social circles that Prufrock is apart of, Prufrock has stayed clear. Prufrock contemplates on whether he can find value in the cold superficial environment by asking the question, “Do I dare/Disturb the universe (45-46)?
