T. S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" T. S. Eliot's poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a poem with many interesting points because the author was very young at the time he was writing this poem which is about a middle-aged man. It is a poem relating to different literary terms like simile, allusions, metaphors and imagery. These are some of the points I am going to write about in the following essay. The poem is a dramatic monologue; the speaker in the poem speaks to the listener. Prufrock's thoughts are not chained together; they are brought to light piece by piece. The poem is like a slide show, showing us his bad and good experiences in life. "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is about the observations of a middle-aged man named Prufrock. The poem begins with Prufrock asking us to join him on his journey through the observations of the city, which most probably takes place from the room Prufrock is in at that moment. We do not know if Prufrock ever leaves his room at all, sometimes Prufrock's behaviour could remind us of agoraphobia. We are not able to separate between the real world and the imaginary world. Prufrock is, in a way, stuck in time, he keeps on saying that there is time, he keeps

The reason for this might be because he was impotent. Poets of Reality: Six Twentieth-Century Writers. Prufrock is a character that cannot move on because he stands in the middle of the way he is seen on the physical outer side and his deepest romantic desires. In this case Eliot plays a little with time because we are not able to distinguish if Prufrock's thoughts are in the present, past or future: "I grow old/I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled". This is referred to when he says "No, I am not Hamlet, nor was meant to be; I am an attendant lord, one that will do". The title of the poem is telling us that we should not forget that it is a love song. Sources:# Babusci, Roger et. Stearns Eliot", this is why it is possible that Prufrock is Eliot himself. There is the possibility that Prufrock suffers from psychosexual panic. Eliot uses imagery and intertextuality that implicates that new poetry can come out of old poetry.
