Contemporary Literary Criticism J Alfred Prufrock

The so-called Love Song The ironic character of
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, an early poem
by T. S. Eliot (1888 - 1965) in the form of a
dramatic monologue, is introduced in its title.
Eliot is talking, through his speaker, about the
absence of love, and the poem, so far from being a
song, is a meditation on the failure of romance.
The opening image of evening (traditionally the
time of love making) is disquieting, rather than
consoling or seductive, and the evening becomes a
patient (Sp...

Hip Hop Hard Times

It is not typical that hip hop music is viewed to
be a form of art. It has received a great deal of
negative publicity since becoming mainstream in
the early to mid 1980 s. It is believed, by many,
that the lyrical content of this type of music
deals with only guns, alcohol, sex, violence, and
crime. It is understandable for them to have these
beliefs, because there was a period of time when
that was true. Though there are still the artists
whose lyrics say very little; recently, hip hop
