As a poet, dramatist and critic contributed much to
English literature. The poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"is one amoung his
masterpieces. On daling with the theam of the poem we have to mention the methodes of
articulation applied. It begun in February 1910 and published in Chicago in June 1915.
Described as a "drama of literary anguish," it presents a stream of consciousness in the
form of a dramatic monologue, and marked the beginning of Eliot's career as an
influential poet. With its weariness, regret, embarrassment, longing, emasculation,
sexual frustration, sense of decay, and awareness of mortality, Prufrock has become one
of the most recognized voices in 20th-century literature,[1] and is the
quintessential urban zeitgeist of the 20th century.
main theme:Loneliness and
Alienation: Prufrock is a pathetic man whose anxieties and obsessions have isolated him.
 Indecision: Prufrock resists making decisions for fear that their outcomes will turn
out wrong.  Inadequacy: Prufrock continually worries that he will make a fool of himself
and that people will ridicule him for his clothes, his bald spot, and his overall
physical appearance.  Pessimism: Prufrock sees only the negative side of his own life
and the lives of others.
