The Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock is hardly a love song at all. In fact, it is more about despair than it is about love.
Though the name J. Alfred Prufrock speaks volumes about a man who must have it all and be of very high stature, Prufrock himself is quite the opposite. His story is about his struggle of droning over the chances he did not take in life and the chances that did not take him. As he grows older, he reminisces over these choices and his life. Did any of his chances that he didn't take really make that much of a difference? Or did society just make them out to be more influential than he finds them? The "poem" is largely a matter of interpretation.
