T.S. Eliot's "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"
I think it is strange the title of the poem is "The Love Song" because to me the poem has nothing to do with love, but is more explaining the life of J. Alfred Prufrock. So instead of the title being "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" I think the title should be "The Life of J. Alfred Prufrock." I also noticed he repeats many lines throughout the poem, such as "In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo" and "So how should I presume, And how should I presume, And should I then presume?" Overall, this poem was pretty good. I still am not good yet at finding the true meaning within poems. I need to have work at that. Also, I thought it was odd that he said "Do I dare to eat a peach?" I do not think peaches are harmful, so I think he should eat a peach.
