struggles that come with it. Such struggles have caused men to do the impossible like cross oceans, travel the world, dance, sing, write, and, perhaps the most daring thing of them all, propose marriage. As seen in the poem by T.S Elliot, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, love and its complications have plagued humankind since centuries past. The poem describes Prufrock’s journey to an event in which he will ask someone an important question. Through his walk he is overcome by a multitude…

In the poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, written by T.S. Elliot, there is one main theme that branches into subthemes throughout the poem. The theme at hand is one that most people can relate to, including myself. Acceptance. Acceptance is the feeling everyone wants, and fear not having. We are psychologically “wired to seek love and acceptance” states Dr. John Amodeo from PsychCentral (web). Fear of not looking like society says you should look. Fear of not living up to the…

Response Paper 2 S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" uses a modernist approach to describe the views of a man living with self-doubt, lack of confidence and an inability to make sense of the modern world. Eliot uses descriptive images and society as the setting to give a clear visual picture of man living in his own hell due to his extremely low self esteem and the way he feel he is viewed by others. He cannot give or receive love because he goes through life with a…

striking parallels between the past and the present that are beautifully preserved in the words of poems, songs, and other writings. Even though the terminology and language may be different, the message remains true.

Similarly to how sexual isolation pushes Prufrock farther away from people, Eliot uses nature images to increase the feeling of isolation. The nature imagery in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is stunningly beautiful; yet at the same time, it indicates isolation. In the third full stanza, a metaphor of a yellow fog that sounds like a cat is used. Cats only make themselves visible when they want something, otherwise they tend to be alone. Both fog and cats can come and go at any point…

Music makes me feel good for instance rock and roll makes me feel pumped up and ready to party and have a good time. And then with blues I feel like dancing softly and…
