If I were friends with Romeo or Juliet I would tell them how I see it and how I see their relationship ending. I would inform them that it’s not the brightest idea, I would tell them not to rush things and maybe take it a little slower. I would tell them to wait until they were older to make decisions for themselves, and I would tell them to be patient with life.
Thomas Eliot works multiple themes in the poem, however in general, his usage of imagery mainly represents ageing and decay. In the lines "When the evening is spread out against the sky / Like a patient etherized upon a table", the phrases like "sawdust restaurants" and "cheap hotels," the yellow fog, and the afternoon "Asleep...tired... or it malingers", represent decay. The character's concerns about his hair and teeth which is mentioned in the lines "Combing the white hair of the waves blown back / When the wind blows the water white and black," show the problems about aging.
