“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”: A Confused Man in More Ways than One
“The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”, by T. ... “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is a poem about a complex and insecure man named J. Alfred Prufrock. Throughout the poem, Prufrock deals with his own internal struggle between his “you” (Eliot, 1) which is his soul and his “I” (1) which is himself. In the poem, Prufrock is having this internal struggle due to the fact that he wants people of the opposite sex to see him as the way Prufrock wants the women to see him: as a person women want to start a relationship with. Prufrock deals with many thoughts in the poem and goes from being hopelessly negative and unconfident, to being positive and confident, only to return to the depression that controls his life. Prufrock’s struggle with his “you” and “I” greatly trouble him, because he (the “I”) wants to try to meet women, but his soul (the “you”) keeps putting him down and tells him that meeting women will never happen. But we learn later in the poem that Prufrock does not see women as people he wants to get to know.
