Abstract

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is T.S Eliot’s masterwork which reflects his modernism thoughts on the despiritualized world during WWI. Study and analysis of this poem are mainly from the following perspectives: modernism, archetypal criticism and the biblical allusions in the poem. Combined with a new understanding of the character’s procrastination, this thesis is to explore the hero—J. Alfred Prufrock by psychological analysis. After a thorough and insightful analysis of the sophisticated figure that is full of contradiction, the disillusionment and frustration of that age can be clearly exposed to the readers, which will help the readers to form a profound understanding of the poem.
