The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T. S. Eliot is a modernist poem that follows the inner thoughts of a reflective and uncertain narrator as he wrestles with questions of identity, connection, and the passage of time. Through vivid imagery and a stream-of-consciousness style, the poem explores feelings of isolation, self-doubt, and the difficulty of finding meaning in a complex world. Its emotional depth and innovative structure make it one of the defining works of 20th-century poetry.
