Answer: Textual analysis involves analysis not just the content, but also the structure or design of a text and how elements function, often as part of a larger (historical, cultural) context. On the other hand literal an analysis uses facts of the story to support logical conclusions about the story, such as whether the central character is static or dynamic.
Explanation:
After reading and analyzing the ending of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," we can answer the questions in the following manner:
- The ending is most likely not real, but a metaphor for his sinking sense of self.
- It relates to the poem in the sense that Prufrock is unable to live in reality like others. When something wakes him up, brings him back from his mental wanderings, he feels like he has been woken from a spell.
- The ending is most likely not supposed to make sense, although it does connect to the poem in general. This is all about Prufrock's feelings. Women to him are like the mythological mermaids. They attract him, but he will never have them. Reality to him is as sad as dying.
<h3>What happens in the end of the poem?</h3>
In "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," the speaker is an introverted man who seems unable to find love. Insecure and shy, he can hardly talk to women. For that reason, he lives more in his own mind than in the read world.
In the end of the poem, Prufrock uses the metaphor of drowning and the allusion to the mermaids as a way to express how he feels. The mermaids are the unattainable women in his life. Drowning represents the sadness he feels when he realizes reality is not as good as his imagination.
