In “Lovesong”, T.S. Eliot, through the persona of Prufrock, expresses one of the most fundamental concerns that has troubled humanity since the beginning of time, that is, an existential question about one’s purpose in life. This question is dropped on our plate, whether we like it or not, while time continues to disregard our “Indecisions”, “visions” and “revisions”. We are often subjected to the pull from opposing forces that leave us confused and helpless. Prufrock reflects, “Do I dare / Disturb the universe?” We may even avoid making decisions all together out of fear. Similarly, Prufrock admits, “and in short, I was afraid”. Of what is he afraid? “Works and days of hands”? What lies ahead? Unfortunately, avoidance often leads us down a path of disbelief and regrets.
