When we first read “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock‚” I expected a poem somewhat remotely related to what the title is called – a love song. Instead‚ the word ‘love’ is never used or is referred to as a typical romanticism you would normally find in a love poem. This poem is about a man‚ Alfred Frufrock‚ reflecting on what he was doing in his life and questioning what he should have done. The depressing thing is that he is an old man and still has not gone out with a women more then once. I felt

chaotic‚ especially due to paralysis and alienation in modern society. This newly perceived reality is reflected through techniques of fragmentation in modernist works such as James Joyce’s short story “Araby” and T.S. Eliot’s poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”. In the late 1800s and early 1900s‚ fundamental and far-reaching changes in society often made individuals feel wary and estranged from their surrounding world.

In both poems‚ ‘The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock’ and ‘Preludes’‚ Eliot explores humanity’s uncertainty of self and the degeneration of society into one that lacks meaningful communication‚ and to a significant extent has been reinforced by Winterson and the other perspectives. In order to portray the thoroughly modern world

In “Ulysses” by Tennyson we examine two different male roles through the father and the son. The father’s role is an adventurer‚ explorer and fighter. This is a common role for Victorian men because they were charged with the responsibility to explore colonies and claim land for the glory of the empire.

Eliot exemplified it best through the repeated line “In the room the women come and go/ Talking of Michelangelo”. The narrator brings up the famous and very talented artist Michelangelo‚ who is still talked about by the women
