Socratic Seminar Notes: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock

It is more relatable now than it was sophomore year when we read it. It talks about relationships and running out of time. It relates to school in that its almost over.
In life you’re going to have to do something that you don’t particularly like.
Sophomore year it was more about an assignment to read the poem. Now it relates to procrastination. He spends so much time on debating whether or not to do something, when he could be doing the thing he is debating on. You are just wasting time thinking about doing it.
He is losing time when thinking about time and saying he has time to do it. The author uses the biblical reference to explain that time is limited on Earth and to make the most out of it. The title is ironic because of the kind of person the author is.
