The most emphatic descriptions of Prufrock’s discomfort life and his inability to make good decisions are found throughout the poem such as when Prufrock enters the house and thus begins the social cycle found within. Prufrock wants to act, but he knows that he will not find the courage to act and remain trapped in his filthy and inert world. Prufrock remarks on his decisions and revisions. This demonstrates Prufrock’s desire to have an escape route- the lack of commitment in the word indecision and then the decisions that can be revised and reversed at a moment’s notice. As a result, Prufrock remains motionless. Prufrock questions himself several times throughout the poem and especially so in the episode including his entrance into the house.
