    In the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot‚ the main character‚ J. Alfred Prufrock is seen as an anti-hero. His character and identity comes through strongly in the poem as a shy and introverted man who is socially inept‚ extremely self conscious‚ lacking in self confidence and wallowing in self-pity‚ yet desiring for people to notice him.

    with a metaphor about the game: “Giants‚ Wizards‚ and Dwarfs.” This metaphor is where most of the meaning in her speech came from‚ especially from the little girl who wanted to be a mermaid. This little girl decided that society‚ the game‚ couldn’t tell her she had to be a giant‚ wizard or dwarf if she wanted to be a mermaid. This is the point Bush tries to make to the students at Wellesley College. A role model for the students and the first lady‚ Barbara Bush uses boat loads of

    then you will find a good woman. The unstated message is how can a person discover this answer? The only way is by visiting the devil himself in hell. Perhaps that is where a true woman is. Donne wants to be taught to hear mermaids singing and yet in mythology mermaids sung sailors to their deaths.
