【正确答案】正确答案："The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is Eliot" s most striking early achievement. The poem is a sort of dramatic monologue, suggesting an ironic contrast between a pretended "love song" and a confession of his incapability of facing up to love and to life in a sterile upper-class world. The poem presents the meditation of an aging young man over the business of proposing marriage. Prufrock, the protagonist of the poem, is mentally ill, neurotic, self-important, illogical and incapable of action. He is a figure representative of frustrations in modern bourgeois society. Human predicament is the theme. Prufrock is a kind of tragic figure caught in a sense of defeated idealism and tortured by unsatisfied desire. The action of the poem consists of the interplay of impressions in the protagonist" s mind. The poem is intensely anti-romantic with visual images of hard, gritty objects and evasive hellish atmosphere. The surface tone is of over-civilized anxiety but the basic emotions are fear and malice. Individual lines or phrases are borrowed from, past works, bringing a rich meaning to the poem. The meter varies within the conventional English line, and the rhyming is superb.
