In class essay-Guillermo-The love song of J. A. Prufrock

In “The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” Eliot invites the reader to go along with Prufrock in his journey in the streets. In this poem, Prufrock faces the stages of initiation and chaos at the same time. Eliot focuses more on Prufrock’s feelings to guide the reader into his personality.

The writer creates conflict between Prufrock and his inner guide to introduce the stages of initiation and chaos as shown in lines 73 and 74, where he says “I should have been a pair of rugged claws. Scuttling across the floors of silent seas.” He is basically saying that he doesn’t know what to say to the woman. Then he kind of stays in the stage of chaos at the end of the poem because he wants to propose her, but he is afraid that she might give him a “maybe” answer. This shows that Prufrock is full of love, but eventually he finds hard to apply it in his life.

I would suggest for my conclusion that if he shows his feelings to the woman he wants to propose, he would have to go up to that woman and let her know how he feels towards her. Otherwise she will never find out and might get proposed by some other man. Overall Prufrock must not be a shy person because of his phobia of rejection, which, which it will help him realize the importance for somebody to show feelings.
