The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot is a literary masterpiece that explores the inner world of a hesitant and self-doubting modern man. The poem follows the protagonist, Prufrock, as he navigates his way through an alienating city, his thoughts seemingly in a state of constant flux as he touches on topics such as love, loneliness, mortality, and existential angst. It is an exploration of the human experience, as Prufrock searches for meaning and identity in a chaotic and confusing world. Through his narrative, Eliot presents an intimate portrait of a man struggling to find purpose and contentment in life, encapsulating the experience of modern man in a way that remains just as relevant today as it was in the early 20th century.
