Free or unbound are a couple I can think of. If there is a list of specific words you have to choose from, please list them.
Prufrock has all the normal desires of a young man, but he is ultimately incapable of doing anything. He is compelled to think everything through, but it doesn't help him at all. The thoughts just can't transform into actions, in part because he is afraid, in part because he lacks confidence, and in part because he can see no sense in all of it. He doesn't "dare disturb the universe" by asking "an overwhelming question". He is only capable of entering trivial, petty interactions with the world obsessed with material, "the cups, the marmalade, the tea, / <span>Among the porcelain, among some talk of you and me". This matter renders Prufrock's existence futile, and he is all too aware of it. His intelligence doesn't help him at all, because it locks him into a self-indulgent, passive world, rendering him aware of all the impossibilities.</span>
<span>Some students may say Sir Gawain believes that God guides his actions, he fights on God's side, and God has sent him to warn Arthur. Others may say Gawain meets the definition of the medieval hero, who should embody a devout faith in God. Students should then explain how Gawain's faith is representative of English culture.
