초록
T. S. Eliot’s early poems, including “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” clearly reflect his attitude toward art and life. Eliot thinks we are prepared for art when we have been ceased to be interested in our emotion and experiences and try to search for the Absolute Truth as the order of our own contemporary. Eliot’s rage of order is shown in the ‘historical sense’of tradition and in the quest of the ultimate reality of human beings. In “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”his search for the reality appears as an attempt of self-definition, which turns out to be an overwhelming question which cannot be questioned. This article approaches the aspects of the character, Prufrock in the poem and attempts to study him as a persona of Eliot himself in terms of conflicts created in the process of the quest for self and the unquestionable question. Prufrock is portrayed as a prototypical modern man and starts his quest-journey in an isolated situation, which proves that the two selves are the self and the other self in one person. The culmination of conflict and procrastination on the quest for his self-definition is expressed in the confession, ‘It is impossible to say just what I mean.’
Abstract
T. S. Eliot’s early poems, including “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” clearly reflect his attitude toward art and life. Eliot thinks we are prepared for art when we have been ceased to be interested in our emotion and experiences and try to search for the Absolute Truth as the order of our own contemporary. Eliot’s rage of order is shown in the ‘historical sense’of tradition and in the quest of the ultimate reality of human beings. In “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”his search for the reality appears as an attempt of self-definition, which turns out to be an overwhelming question which cannot be questioned. This article approaches the aspects of the character, Prufrock in the poem and attempts to study him as a persona of Eliot himself in terms of conflicts created in the process of the quest for self and the unquestionable question. Prufrock is portrayed as a prototypical modern man and starts his quest-journey in an isolated situation, which proves that the two selves are the self and the other self in one person. The culmination of conflict and procrastination on the quest for his self-definition is expressed in the confession, ‘It is impossible to say just what I mean.’
