An intellectual man eventually questions the deviations in his society and he is usually astounded by how he is obliged to stand alone in that society. This work specifically focuses on how the shattered values of Modern World lead the intellectual individual to alienation and suffering, with regard to the poem “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” by T.S. Elliot. The given imageries, stylistic devices, meanings and some certain references are examined as well, as indications of the suffering of the individual. The essay also includes the historical and social background of American Literature of twentieth century and stresses the relation between the mentioned factors and the attitude of modern men. After World War I, the artistic approach of some certain writers of the mentioned era has been mainly affected by the social changes. The main aim is to study how these changes influenced the poetry of T.S. Elliot; more specifically investigate the indications of that certain state of mind embedded in “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”. As a focus, the research question of this essay suggests concentrating on the topic by taking major themes, linguistics, structures, tone, atmosphere and setting of the poem into consideration. All the mentioned points are discussed in a detailed way in order to determine and comprehend the state of endurance and alienation of modern man.
