Cultural depictions of T. S. Eliot

T.S. Eliot?s acclaimed poem ?The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock? , engages the use of metaphors, imagery, allusions, and other figurative language devices to explain the story of a man called J. Alfred Prufrock, who is having trouble asking a question to his lover, who in this case, is the reader. This poem in its dreamlike setting provides the reader with a mysterious and dark tone of voice. The poem begins in a peculiar yet symbolic fashion with a quote from Dante?s classic Inferno. A man Dante meets in Hell, whose sin is lying to God, false counsel, speaks the quote. Although this quote is somewhat meaningless to the reader in the beginning, its significance becomes prominent later on.
