I've decided to focus and analyze Eliot's poem 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock.' Of all of his poems, this is the poem that catches my interest the most. Eliot's rhyme scheme in this poem is different but not at all random. I realized that reading this piece out loud helps the ryhme to become more obvious. As a modernist writer, Eliot wanted to show the psychological state of humanity. During this time writers wanted to show that society was fractured and people were alienated. Eliot did this through his work by showing that Prufrock was questioning his decisions and could never decide anything for himself. Throughout the poem he sat off by himself, and thought about the possibilities. But he never followed through with any thoughts. This idea that writers tried to get across in the early 1900s is still somewhat in our lives today. Many people are open and love being with eachother. But at the same time, there are still those loners who are afraid to commit to anything.
