T. S. Eliot’s Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock : A Reinvigorate Observation
Journal Title: Notions A Journal of English Literature - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 3
Abstract
“Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is one of evergreen poems ever composed by reverend T. S. Eliot, a shining star in the sky of English literature who lighted the fields of poetry, philosophy and criticism. He is one of the torch bearers of the modern age in English Literature. Prufrock has a split personality and is divided into two selves like Realistic self (brain/I) and Romantic self (heart/you). Prufrock through the various ways tries to go to his beloved and propose his love after being compelled by his romantic self but his realistic self every time took him from his imaginative and romantic world into realistic world; and throughout the poem Prufrock remains indecisive. Poem paints the scenery of urban life and metropolitan city and it’s in form of an interior monologue of an urban man and his disillusionment and isolation. Though the poem was first published in 1915 in Poetry: A Magazine of Verses and later in 1917 in Prufrock and Other Observations undoubtedly the poem is still influencing minds even in 21st century; my present article is not only an attempt to invigorate Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock but tracing its legitimacy in the current scenario.
