The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot | Summary & Analysis 

POV: this is your English assignment

course hero is like saving me from all of my college English assignments

7:12 He wants to share his thoughts and emotions to someone but is afraid that the "one" will reject him for telling them to her. *Note to self*

Thanks for this lecture. Your lectures are always very clear and informative and makes me go deeper into my studies. I am very grateful for your efforts and endeavors to reach the students of literature.

Slow down and dont shout.... otherwise- brilliant!

An Outstanding lecture by an Outstanding Instructor. Thanks a ton, Sir... You explained the poem in a way no one can explain...

Thank you so much for this well-explained breakdown

Stop shouting. Eliot would be ashamed.

homie please stop screaming

These reviews are great but it always feels like you're yelling at the audience, maybe chill out on the coffee before filming these

watch the video with 0.75 speed, it will work

POV. You identified with Prufrock a little too much.

I don't think that this style of presentation does justice to the poem. This is not what Eliot meant at all, this is not what he meant, at all! I also think that your analysis is not "in depth". How can you talk of symbols without making it plausible that and why Eliot used sysmbols at all and what they were supposed to symbolize? What's the difference between symbols and metaphors or even motifs? And does Prufrock wish he ha a magic lantern? does he not rather fear to be dissected (as expressed earlier in the poem, "pinned and wriggling on the wall")? And does he really address one specific woman? Arms and shawls and skirts and whatnot: it's Woman, with a capital W, not one woman in particular. And so on. Sorry.

This is just a theory: But did Prufrock have a reason to go to the party to do something he was afraid to do and end up not doing it because he became distracted by the woman. ; Explanation: He stopped saying "Do I dare" and also said that she made him digress.

But why is he named J. Alfred Prufrock? Why not John Smith?

I'm having a very difficult time dissecting this poem myself. It just seems so damn pretentious? edit: This video helped BIG TIME

Of all the poems my literature class had me read, this was the one that immediately connected to me

Am sure the analysis is great but in the current tone and delivery pitch am not inclined to listen.

prufrock was the first incel

Very fast speaking

you guys are LITERALLY course heroes.

Does this screaming man have any idea what poem he is referencing

Nice explanation. This is one of my favorites from Eliot.

He is too first 😐..It’s hard to understand for non-English😴

You can present it slowly sir

Calm the F down.

I perform this poem on my channel. It really is something else (The performance)

Thank you for this helpful video, it helped me for me English assignment :)

Your energy and explanations are contagious....😂 Thank you

Stop yelling

Thank you, very helpful!

is it a way to talk?

I love this poem and find it grossly misunderstood by everyone but whoever this guy is with his high pitched voice and he's mantic quick rendering of the poem he's so grating I had to turn him off sorry buddy I know your intentions are good like good lord man

thanks, got a huge literary review due based on this

hindi main bolna

Yes, pls change the tone of your voice. This is T S Eliot not a 2 for 1 bargain announcement at the discount store.

Beautiful and lovable explanation

Pov: You have to write a character analysis essay in one night.

Thanks a lot. It becomes helpful for me. I find difficulties when go through the poem. but now I get it.

abhinandan

Good communication and voice

I HAVE AN EXAM THIS AFTERNOON AND I HAVEN'T EVEN READ THIS POEM AT ALL😂

هول ورايا يا بت انتى وهى اشهد ان لا إله إلا الله محمد رسول الله

no bc i literally can’t read i stg y’all 😤

I just had to continue because this instructor this high pitched manic literal translation of a great poem this guy this instructor has no clue of what the hell he is talking about or what's going on with TS Eliot through the character of the crew frock it's really a standing it's also embarrassing it's Which is part of proof rock problem living in a world where people don't get it they live meaningless empty lives

Please do The Hollow Men .

Great work. Thank you so much

Hello Sir 😁 Back for Poetry with you !

I assumed the yellow fog was referring to mustard gas, is it just describing the fog outside??

DO i Dare 1:29 -- 2:30 - 2:40 should i presume :::: NOTE TO SELF

well for one thing theres not anything wrong what prufrock thinks.

Wish i could speak like that 🙄 😭

Greatly expressed in a nutshell. 👏👏👏

I have my exam next day, Let’s hope for the best.

Can you talking sllllllllow please

Why are you shouting?

Thanks

Thanks, really helpful!!

thank you so much

Thank u sooooo much sir Fr 🇮🇳

Really good explanation

Borning voice

Gee whizz. What a performance! Almost blew me out of my seat. Thought I was watching a yogi bear and boo boo video. If ya close your eyes that's exactly what happens. "We have lingered in the Chambers of the sea, by seagulls wreathed with seaweed red and brown, til HUMAN VOICES wake us and we drown".......sure thing, Tom, my lad

ebhai kaun hain tu

His energy really doesn't match the subject matter

Pov: you have an exam tomorrow 😅
