The allusion in the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" reveals the following about Prufrock:
2. He sees himself as a minor character.
Prufrock is the speaker in the poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," by T. S. Eliot. At a certain point, he alludes to Shakespeare's "Hamlet":
"No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be; Am an attendant lord, one that will do To swell a progress, start a scene or two —"
What he means by those lines is that he is just a minor character in life. He is not Hamlet, the main character, just someone to "start a scene or two."
Prufrock is an emotionally stunted man. Now that he is aging, he is even more fearful of approaching others, especially women.
He feels left out, as if others are main characters while he is just a minor one.
With that in mind, we can choose the second option as the one that best reveals the meaning of his allusion.
