T.S. Eliot's 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock'/ Indecision's Answer
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper arguing that Eliot's poem speaks of metaphysical glimpses into an afterlife. It is spoken in the construct of a night when 'J. Alfred Prufrock' is traveling, though not reveling, on the mundane earth with a companion. During the ramble, Eliot takes an ironic look at what is known and what is before him. Within the poem, he orders his words in a purposeful rambling between providing an answer to the 'overwhelming question,' and seeing grace in the present. He also uses subjugated literary techniques, color elements and time to further stipulate indecision and fear. No additional sources cited.
