He dominated criticism in the period between two world wars and shaped the tastes and the critical vocabulary of a generation. He insisted that poetry should be impersonal and that not only the poet’s private life but even the world in which he lived was irrelevant to a true understanding of his work. The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock The most striking early achievement of T. S. Eliot. The trademark for the poet, both in theme and structure. Pruflock sets off to visit a polite tea party despite his great lack of self-confidence. The city, the streets, and the fog make him feel that he is in a timeless dream world. He intends to ask one of the women at the party a question he has put off for a long time, but he is terrified that he will be rejected and mocked behind his back. He laments his lack of courage and sees the smallness of his whole life. summary Analysis of Prufrock 1. Title 2. His character 3. Symbolic meaning and irony 4. Major Themes of “Prufrock” 5.
