In T.S. Eliot's poignant poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," the speaker reflects on his feelings of inadequacy and alienation as he navigates the urban landscape. With evocative imagery, Eliot captures the essence of modern life, exploring themes of self-doubt, longing, and the passage of time. The poem’s rich symbolism—such as the yellow fog and coffee spoons—offers a window into Prufrock's inner turmoil, questioning the nature of existence and the fear of decision-making. This work remains a timeless exploration of the human experience.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Dennis Simon The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

  2. When the evening is spread out against the sky

  3. Like a patient etherised upon a table;

  4. Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,

  5. Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels

  6. And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:

  7. Talking of Michelangelo.

  8. The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,

  9. Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,

  10. Before the taking of a toast and tea.

  11. With a bald spot in the middle of my hair—

  12. [They will say: “But how his arms and legs are thin!”]

  13. I have measured out my life with coffee spoons;

  14. When I am pinned and wriggling on the wall,

  15. By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown
