The Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock - Imagery, Literary Allusion, Struc

The Love poetry That was N eer Sung A bash vociferation or a profession of slam usually includes a culminating headway where the suitor finally professes his love toward the woman. However T.S. Eliots The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is almost a guide on how to dissuade oneself from professing love to a woman. It does this by combining several different poetic methods to unwrap a situation of desperation and trapped isolation. Basically, Alfred is clear on the fact that he wants to be a part of this womans whom he loves- life, but he cannot bring himself to the complete the act, to say I love you. The meter itself consists of all of the reasons, going through Alfreds head, why he should not profess his love. Imagery, literary allusion, and structure are prominent tools use by Eliot to convey the mans feelings in the poem. Eliots rebuke of the modern man of his time is another strong foot in this poem. A demonstration of this is clear when Eliot pr esents Alfred as a modern man, and and so he criticizes modern mens being with Alfreds thoughts. The unfitness of taking action, or cowardice, is evidently the over arching theme in this presentation. One of the minor themes that play well into the all encompassing theme is Eliots interpretation of the modern man.The modern man, according to Eliot, is someone who lacks the power to take a leap of corporate trust or risk something no matter the importance. Prufrock is an extreme representation of the modern man and Eliot demonstrates this with these lines, There ordain be time, there will be time...To wonder, Do I dare? and Do I dare? (26, 38). Time and doubt create a barrier between Prufrocks effect and his actions which yields him from displaying his tr... ...role of the Fool found in line 118. Once again, Alfred has found even more excuses for not taking any action by relating how he believes he will infract because of his lack of great status. Therefore, he never did take that leap of faith that he earnestly wanted to. No one can ever have courage without fear because then courage would not collect so much heart and strength to muster. Even though Alfred have a certain fear, he did not have enough heart to be courageous and take a step bigger than those thrifty in coffee spoons. Therefore, with the use of, imagery, literary allusion, and structure, Eliot was able to create a poem that criticized the modern man that affected his heart. Just think--why men express to themselves--that they finally had a noble and courageous cause to fight for when The great War began only a few years after this poem was published.
