T.S. Eliot 's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" depicts a man 's lack of ability to make decisive actions even as he notices what is necessary. Through his character Prufrock, Eliot uses the speaker 's consciousness to put his reader in Prufrock 's position. In the poem, Prufrock is in love with a woman that he feels is "out of his league". Throughout the poem, Prufrock analyzes his thoughts to see how much he cares for the woman. While analyzing, he also finds that uncovers his own self. In this poem, Eliot uses allusions, monologue, imagery, and time to clearly illustrate Prufrock 's insecurities in his own self-worth and self-image.

Eliot to portray Prufrock 's significant personalities and unravels his issues with self-worth and self-image. Using Dramatic Monologue helps Eliot paint a picture of how he wants the speakers to be. In a dramatic monologue, the speaker addresses another individual while the reader is the "silent listener" to the story; often the dramatic monologue is carried with irony, as the speaker is unaware of what he unfolds. Throughout the story we can see Eliot effectively using his dramatic monologue to resonate with the readers; does this generates sympathy for the speaker. The remarkable moral positions and emotions that Eliot instills make up the characteristic subject matter of the dramatic monologue.

Through my analysis, I see that the speaker is relating himself to the streets he describes. One night cheap hotels in a half-deserted street draw a setting where people just come and go; if you are seen being there you will be judged. Prufrock relates to his description of the streets because through an imagery of a room full of women looking at Michelangelo, we can see how he feels, "women come and go" ("Prufrock" 13). The speaker explains how women just ignore his presence in the room. Prufrock feels invisible like he is not even there. This adds "fuel" to his insecurities that no one wants him and if he is seen they will just judge him. Towards the end of the poem, we see the speaker ending with some amazing ocean scenery. Eliot details that his speaker is lingering "in the chambers of the sea" ("Prufrock" 129). This ending suggests that he finally realizes his conclusion of who he is and what he 's worth. The ocean represents his conclusion that he is better suited in the cold isolated ocean instead of attempting to fit in a society of people. Prufrock believes that he doesn 't belong in society and feels like he 's not part of it. T.S. Eliot uses these images to help his readers interpret the poem from his point of
