A Stylistic Analysis of T. S. Eliot's ''The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock''
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research aims to analyze T.S. Eliot 's ''The Love song of J. Alfred Prufrock'' from a stylistic perspective that distinguishes each writer's work from others. Writers construct their words together uniquely according to different aspects like meaning and structure. The role of stylistic analysis is to disclose these aspects in the literary work and enjoy the concept of beauty in the poem. The study tackles: phonological, graphological, morphological and lexico-syntactic as syntactic level. All these levels participate in showing the figurative and literal meaning that are used by the poet. The poem tells a story of middle -aged man who is suffered a lot because he is torn between telling his love or not. He makes many attempts, but his spiritual cowardice and hesitation prevent his love song from being sung. The poet goes further to address the dilemma of modern man who is suppressed and coward by community.
