The love of song of J. Alfred Prufrock is written from T.S. Eliot in modern time and it’s a dramatic monologue: it is a new form of poetry that was created during the Victorian age and this means that Eliot uses the technique of juxtaposition and the narrator talks with consciousness, as happened in the theatres, that was one of the most important features of modernism.

Besides, the dramatic monologue is introduced by an epigraphy which derives from Dante’s Inferno.

Starting from the title we understand that the song deals with love and it will be the theme, besides, we know that a song gives more attention to the rhyme scheme and so to the sound level. The verse is free, so there isn’t stanzas to organize the song, but Eliot wants to give unity to it with the juxtaposition.

The protagonist of the song are humans of middle-age, people that have lived for a lots time and now they ask to their self which is the sense of life.

Moreover the writer explain how human are afraid of their self and not of the others, in particular when they see their self in the mirror.

In the first scene “Let us go” is an invitation to do to desert streets when evening comes, while “you and I” are the two own nature of Prufrock. There are not many people in the streets follow "like a tedious argument" which has the aim to lead to an oppressive question. The speaking voice invites who reads to not ask what is the question.

In the second scene Eliot speaks about the yellow fog which strokes their back on the “window-panes” and so does also the yellow smoke which rubs its muzzle on the window-panes, which licks its tongue "into the corners of the evening".

In the third and fourth scenes the time seems to be forever for a series of actions and thoughts; there is time to “preparing a face to meet other people” and there is time to “murder and create” and there is time for “works  and days of hands"; there is time “for me”. Also there will be time to wonder about if he should dare, to change and “to come down the stair”.

In the last part of this dramatic monologue the attention of the interlocutor and the reader is shifted on the Prufrock’s physically apparence that now he is old.

He askes another question because he wonders to know if he would disturb the universe and he adds that in a very short time: there is time for “decisions and revisions”. 

In the last scene the speaking voice gives an explanation about why he should not dare: he has known all the mornings, afternoons, evenings and he has quantified his life with coffee spoons, he has known voices which are dying with a fall at death's door.
