cupid???
A lonely man looking for love and affection from a mystery woman... is my view on the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Elliot. The cutting words of Elliot describes any relationship. There are no perfect relationships but no relationship at all. There is alwaysa a conflict and disagreement in all relationships no matter how serious. When we talked in class we came up with the man talkin about many women " in the room women come and go talking of Michelangelo." Also, we mentioned that this symbolized the woman's higher class. I believe that it symbolized her clas status. With other cases this adds up to me. Simply the man being nervous to pop the question, the cheap hotels, and reference to Prince Hamlet are some of those clues. I feel that Elliot is talking about a lower class man attemption to talk to a higher class woman that he has fallen for but can't because of fear of rejection. Its such an appropriate time for this poem, considering Valentine's Day. How Ironic, HA!

I agree with Melinda in regards to the social status of the man in this poem. It's obvious he has a fear of being turned down, but is very passionate about "LOVE" and it's meaning. I also feel that he regrets certain times in his life where he wishes he would have been more direct and upfront with his feelings in regards to past relationships. I sense this by the mood in which the poem generates, I could be wrong!
