The Master of Suspense “There is no terror in the bang‚ only in the anticipation of it.” Alfred Hitchcock said so eloquently. He was not the man of horror‚ mystery or sudden shock—no‚ Alfred Hitchcock was a man of suspense.

The narrator brings up the famous and very talented artist Michelangelo‚ who is still talked about by the women

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.
