It is assumed that j. alfred prufrock is a character that t. s. eliot creates through the use of dramatic monologue. using this method, the speaker addresses a silent listener and sometimes reveals qualities that he or she later may regret sharing.
"and i have known the arms already, known them all —
arms that are braceleted and white and bare
(but in the lamplight, downed with light brown hair! )
is it perfume from a dress
that makes me so digress?
arms that lies along a table, or wrap about a shawl.
and should i then presume?
and how should i begin?
. .
shall i say, i have gone at dusk through narrow streets
and watched the smoke that rises from the pipes
of lonely men in shirt-sleeves, leaning out of windows?
i should have been a pair or ragged claws
scuttling across the floors of silent seas."

i decided to stay late in the laboratory to continue my experiment with the lightbulb. at midnight, thomas edison opened the door and walked in with his head held high.

1. he leaned on the wall and observed me carefully.

2. his harsh scrutiny made me self-conscious of my skills in the lab.

3. perhaps it was just me, but the air in the laboratory began to thicken as i found myself having difficulty to breathe.

4. i turned to look at him fully as i mentally prepared myself for what my very first words would be to thomas edison.

5. the next couple of seconds shocked me. it wasn't me who spoke, but rather him and with diction i could never think of using in a simple sentence.
