Reflection#8 "The not so love song"

The poem" The love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a most powerful work of literature it has a lot of allusion and symbolism. Its allusion and symbolism makes the poem although complicated but challenging. T.S.Eliot's out did him self this time. The poem referred to mid life crisis which normally happens to most people in some point or a another; but the mid life situation here was a little more complex for it referred to somebody reasoning of weather it was worth to have sex with a prostitute to enjoy his remaining youth, to taste a peach if you know what I mean. This protagonist was in time of his life were desperate act or more than just desperate though. This man had a chip in his shoulder that he could never remove and that chip was age a fact that made him self-conscious of all his deeds. The truth is that his intention was never clear for he was undeceiving person that had lived what seems a cluttered life. This man in some way code be let to believed to be a priest although the idea of him getting to the point to consider such thing like sex for money way off a minister or priest moral standards but non the less it could be referred to some one with a history of religious back ground. In most cases you can see a lot of qualities in the poem that shout T.S. Eliot for example the fog that in other word meant a cat and T.S. Eliot loved cats as my English professor explained in classes. The poem could of easily been about the author himself, it could of been T.S.Eliot suppressed inner ego; this is something that made the story seem more realistic and more interesting considering its harsh and depressing tone. The fact is this poem isn’t about a love song but the complete apposite of one ironic to the core ,its most certainly riveting. I consider this poem a most read poem and a well piece of linguistics literature. To find the true meaning of this unpredictable poem you most read it and disifer the allusions yourself.
