Rhapsody on a windy night was written directly after Preludes and echoes many of its themes. Rhapsody... charts the night-time journey of a man through the streets of a city.

Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot. This pieces has expanded my intellectual views immensely because it has taught me not to judge a book by its cover (in this case a poem by its title). I am from a small town‚ and in my town everyone likes the same things. So‚ if someone liked poetry or mythology they were considered weird: however‚ in no way‚ shape‚ or form am I trying to accuse my town of being cruel‚ we are all just old fashioned. This poem by T. S. Eliot‚ to me‚ was just the epitome of college

How has Eliot used both conventional and Modernist poetic techniques to represent his Modernist concerns? The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock and Preludes expresses Eliot’s Modernist concerns about the lack of morals and values in modern society through the use of personas within the urban landscape and the urban society. Modern man’s lifestyle of repetition of trivial tasks and the lack of meaningful things in life is represented and emphasised through the use of alliteration‚ metaphor‚ fragmentation

poetry has and will always be a valuable part of history; especially when dealing with an emotion as universal as love. Interpretation “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock‚” by T.S.

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
