    The poem ‘The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock’ by T.S. Elliot is one that is full of literary devices that give the already deep piece of literature an entirely new depth when you look for them.

    Though the title of Eliot’s poem‚ "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" leads the reader to believe it will be a sweet poem‚ the juxtaposition of the epigraph right after the title deeply contrasts the initial thought. It is from Dante’s Inferno and explores the suffering and uncertainty in Prufrock. Translated‚ the epigraph is Guido de Montefeltro confessing his sins to Dante assuming that he‚ like all others‚ will not be able to escape the depth‚ the depth being Hell‚ and therefore not be able

The insecurities of the man took him to feel humiliated and rejected because of his age. This poem starts

    I enjoyed watching all three segments of the 1950s documentary. So much more happened in the 50s besides what you see in Grease or Happy Days.
