Answer:

Explanation:

Tortured modern-day prototypical psyche — overeducated, eloquent, neurotic, and emotionally stilted. Prufrock, the speaker of the poem, seems to be discussing a future lover with whom, by somehow consummating their relationship, he wants to "force the moment of their crisis." Yet Prufrock knows too much about life to "dare" a woman's approach: he hears the remarks others say in his head. Tell of his inadequacies and he chides himself that emotional contact should be "presumed" at all. The poem transitions from a series of relatively realistic physical settings (for Eliot)—a cityscape (the famous "patient etherized on a table") and many interiors (women's arms in the sun, coffee spoons, fireplaces)—to a series of abstract ocean photos conveying the emotional chaos of Prufrock. Prufrock passes through a London landscape where "the evening is stretched out over the sky / Like a patient etherized on a bed." As the road continues through "half-deserted avenues," "one-night cheap hotels," and "oyster-shell sawdust restaurants," the grim atmosphere thickens as Prufrock paints a picture of a destroyed city.
