What Is Prufrock's Sin

Decent Essays
“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is a poem written by the iconic T.S. Eliot. The poem describes a man, Prufrock, who is completely afraid of doing anything that will bring attention to himself. Throughout the poem, Prufrock becomes older and older until he dies at the end. Prufrock, while he was alive, created this unique hell for himself that when he died, he went to hell and now must relive how he wasted his life. Prufrock wasting his life away and having to relive it, is what I believe are his sin and what constitutes as his hell.

    In Dante’s Inferno, Dante states that pitying those damned in Hell is impious and highly discouraged. This is exemplified through the multiple instances of pity and its consequences throughout the book and through Virgil’s guidance. In this essay, I will discuss pity’s role within the Inferno and how it is proven to be a sign of impiety. Pitying the sinful never has positive consequences and surprisingly turns the person pitying the damned into a sinner themselves as they are restricting themselves from growing and learning from the sinners’ mistakes. Pity is a complicated concept.…

    Prufrock also establishes the imagination of their future together and protects the worth of his London socialite status. “It is too late for him to change either himself or his world” (Blum). His let go creates his journey because of his changed emotions from pure lust to a mixture of infatuation and lust. Both Orwell and Eliot’s introduction of the exploit convey a comparable mood of serenity. Although, the mood in Nineteen Eighty-Four shifts multiple times throughout the novel, rotating between fear, lust, and adrenaline rush; Prufrock’s despair sets the poem to a uniform, peaceful atmosphere.…

    An Analysis of the Importance of the Moral and Metaphorical Punishment of Classical hell in Contrast to the Annihilationist Hell in Biblical Studies This biblical study will analyze the importance of the moral and metaphorical punishment of classical hell in contrast to the Annihilationist Hell in the Christian tradition. The Classical version of Hell is defined in the unending punishment and torment of individual that suffer for an eternity for their sins. In contrast to this view, the Annihilationist Hell is a temporal place in which sinners are destroyed. The permanence of Annihilationist views tends to veer to a place of unforgiving destruction for the individual, which defers the eternal nature of the soul in the Bible.…

    Prufrock Tone

    Apathetic Tone in "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" T.S Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" tells the sad tale of a man who has accomplished little in life but wearing "rich" clothing and procrastinating. Eliot employs a myriad of literary devices to convey the dull routineness of Prufrock's life, but the absolutely apathetic tone of the narrator is what really drives home just how passive he is about his own life. The entire poem is nothing but an aside to help Prufrock avoid actually telling the readers anything relevant about his life, although through his unenthusiastic commentary readers are able to infer a great deal about him.…

    In his letter to the Galatians, Saint Paul writes that in order to live in Christ men must die to themselves, offer up their struggles to Christ and make a conscious decision to let Christ live and work through them. In order to understand Dante’s Divine Comedy it is vitally important to make the distinction and state that it is not a roadmap that explicitly directs readers physically through hell, purgatory, and heaven. The Divine Comedy is an allegorical journey that reveals the nature of sin, repentance, and redemption. The story’s protagonist and author, Dante, travels through hell and purgatory under the guidance of the poet Virgil before reaching heaven, so that Dante, as well as the reader may be able to experience the spiritual growth…

    1) This is from The Burning of My House by Anne Bradstreet, a piece of religious poetry written in plain-style and using inversions. In this poem, Bradstreet recollects her epxperience of only being able to watch as her house and everything inside burned down, and how she knows it happened for a reason. During the time of religious revival and Puritan faith takeover in New England, Anne Bradstreet wrote this religon/faith-based poem to inform other on the dangers of materialism as depicted by their faith, in an attempt to "save" her fellow Puritans from falling into the trap of worldly desire. Based off the belief that in relation to the people, God is all-powerful and is pulling all the strings of human life, Bradstreet speaks of how God burned down her house…

    One’s thoughts are personal to them, and once they are asked to externalize it, they often subconsciously or consciously filter out what they are thinking. Each of the personal circumstances in Tillie Olson’s “I Stand Here Ironing”, Dorothy Parker’s “A Telephone Call”, and T.S. Eliot’s “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” inhibit the narrators to externalize their thoughts because of the fear of judgement and self-blame that each feel. Many do not want to express their innermost fears to others. They hesitate to explain their life story because is personal. Insecurities are not things that people talk about freely.…

    There are many authors who used religion as a way to either escape from what was happening in the world, or used that faith as a guiding factor to be able to survive a time that they thought they were all doomed. Starting in the Victorian Period there were many changes happening; science was being more predominant and new discoveries were made that scared a lot of people. Everything was moving so quickly that many felt they couldn’t keep up, so they used their faith as something that was constant to help them stay steady throughout this treacherous time. In the Twentieth Century more people were adjusted to the quicker way of life, but there were still issues such as war happening. The difference between the two time periods is that in the…

    In “The Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T. S. Eliot, there seems to be a story that could fall under the classification of Modernism. Modernism was a reaction to the Industrial Revolution and it involves negative and dark tone with a little bright light of hope hidden. Modernism started due to too many inventions during such a short time. There was a feeling that after these inventions, many cultural values will disappear and it will bring an enormous change in the society. In this poem, Prufrock has negativity filled within him, which gives the readers brief idea about Modernism, but it also holds a little hope.…

    Hell is a place for sinners whose souls suffer after death for the poor choices they commit in the world. It is a spiritual realm often referred to as the inferno for the evil suffering of the souls. Some people believe their sins are not significant enough to allow them to descend to hell. Some even believe that no sin is greater than the next and that all sin is equal. I believe certain sins are greater than others, and in my hell I will have child pornographers, dog fighters, domestic abusers, terrorists, racists, womanizers and identity thieves suffering.…
