1. | The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is a dramatic monologue. A dramatic monologue is a form of dramatic poetry in which a speaker addresses a silent listener. Prufrock, the speaker of T. S. Eliot’s poem, reveals his own character through his speech. Throughout the monologue, the listener remains silent. Write an original dramatic monologue in prose or verse from the point of view of Prufrock’s listener. Consider how Eliot uses literary elements and devices, such as allusion and figurative language, in his poem and use them as a model for how to include these devices in your monologue. |
