The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a beautifully written‚ but yet somewhat sad poem by poet T. S. Eliot.

The song that I chose to analyze is “Changes” by Tupac Shakur. The late Tupac Shakur was an African American rapper who was shot dead years ago.

In the poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot‚ I found it easy to relate to the author’s feelings of inadequacy. The narrator was constantly bringing up other famous artists and comparing himself to them‚ only to inevitably fall short of his own expectations.

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

In T. S Eliot’s literary work‚ “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is introduced with an epigraph from Dante’s Inferno to support the protagonist’s paralysis and the futility of life.
