Question

I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach. I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each. I do not think that they will sing to me. What does Prufrock mean in the last line: "I do not think they will sing to me"? a) He does not think women find him attractive. b) He does not think mermaids are real. c) He is concerned about being alone on the beach. d) He is concerned about growing older.

Answer 1

Answer:

a) He does not think women find him attractive

Explanation:

These lines are part of the final lines of The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock written by  T. S. Eliot, in which a modern, educated, yet emotionally unstable man (Prufrock) expresses his own thoughts on life, society, inadequacy, women, self-image, and shows his anxiety, especially toward human interaction and women rejecting him. In the last lines, Prufrock switches his attention to a beach and fantastic images of mermaids singing to each other, that will never sing to him. Following his pessimistic views, here Prufrock conveys that he feels that women ignore him and do not find him attractive.
