The Love Song




T.S. Elliot is a very modernist poet. From reading his poem entitled The Loves Song of J Alfred Prufrock, this is easy to see. Alfred writes about a character who is not fancy r rich or important. Instead he writes about an average man. This is a very modern topic because normally poets would write about a hero or some great respectable figure. Also the speaker questions life a lot in the poem and that is a very modern thing to think about. I think that it looks very different than other poems before his time. This poem deals with a subject that the older ones wouldn't.
