Blog 4- Prufrock

Prufrock is the abbreviated name of the poem The love song of J. Alfred Prufrock by TS Elliot. While reading the poem, I didnt understand exactly what was going on; it was rather difficult to interpret because it is only showing the surface of the situation. The speaker in the poem is having these random thoughts and they arent that logical. Because of that, it is hard to determine what is literal. The man is middle aged, and has something to say, but he is unable to; he is obviously sexually frustrated. I believe these thoughts are all internal and he is speaking to nobody. He plays through scenes in his head that he wishes he could enact, but he is too afraid. the speaker has an overwhelming question he most likely wishes to ask a certain female; probably about is romantic desires, but I am not even 100 percent sure there.
