The Analysis on Prufock

 

            Alfred Prufrock," Prufrock's inability to act stems from the fear of what other people thought of him. Alfred Prufrock is a man who had too many worries in his life concerning himself and the one he loved. Prufrock was mostly worried about his appearance and how he thought that people were always thinking negative things about him. His life to him is worth less because of the fact that he has nothing to live for. .
             Prufrock said that he was going to attend some party but had some negative feeling about if he should go or not . Prufrock mentioned that he had a bald spot on his head and that he was very thin which brought his hopes down and made him think even more about if he should stay at the party or go. When he enters the party he sees a woman in there that he is interested in. Prufrock is afraid to speak to the women because he feels that he will not speak well enough to have them interested in him. He is taken by their appearance, and it seems that he has had this problem before, since he has "known them already." "Should have been a pair of ragged claws, scuttling across the floors of silent seas." Self-pitying remark that he would have been better as a crab at the bottom of the ocean then himself. Prufrock's inactions always lead him into questioning himself. Prufrock compares himself to Hamlet. Hamlet, like Prufrock, is indecisive and anxious about future consequences. Prufrock echoes Hamlet's famous "to be or not to be" at the end of this line "nor was meant to be", a line that is about wondering whether it is worth existing. Prufrock appearance leads him to think about his age and the fact that he is growing old and that no girl would look at him. .
             Prufrock's indecisions lead him to question himself, and questioning himself leads him to worries, and worries lead him back to indecisions. Prufrock tries to accomplish something but yet fails because he thinks of all these questions, "Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?" These questions lead him into worries of what other people might think of him, then he cannot decide if he should do it or not.
