Dramatic Monologue and Stream of Consciousness in Poetry
Question 10 • Second Semester English 11
Read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panesLicked its tongue into the corners of the evening,Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,And seeing that it was a soft October night,Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.Based on the excerpt, how does the narrator feel about the evening fog?
