Description
T. S. Eloit is an outstanding poet in modern literature. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is one of his earlier works, in which Prufrock proposes "an overwhelming question", but he never tells us what it really means. Although it is challenging to say exactly what he means, a lot of critics have tried to give their own answers. According to Wikipedia, many believe that Prufrock is trying to tell a woman his romantic interest in her, others, however, believe that Prufrock is trying to express some deeper philosophical insight or disillusionment with society, but fears rejection. This paper would like to make this question concrete. In my opinion, this question which Prufrock never speaks out is his psychological conflict. He is pondering whether he should reveal his true self before the public. In this poem, Eliot employed many images and allusions to imply this question to readers.
