Stream of consciousness narrative is characterized by a point of view which goes beyond a simple account from one character's perspective and attempts to capture their internal thought processes, particularly the free associations and strange links they make between topics. The poem captures this narrative style by focusing on the thoughts and feelings of the persona, who is of course named in the title. He is walking to meet a woman for tea and is contemplating the question he is going to ask her, which we can infer is a proposal of marriage. However, there is no arrival or meeting in this poem. Instead, it consists of the internal and rather chaotic thought process of J. Alfred Prufrock. As he walks along, he casts himself in the role of various characters, including Lazarus and Hamlet, to name a few:

To say: "I am Lazarus, come from teh dead,

Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"--

Answer:

Both Granny Weatherall and Prufrock are thinking of rejection and death.

Explanation:

In the short story "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall", Granny's eighty years old and about to die. Her thoughts are a messy mixture of memories and imaginary conversations. But the memory that seems to intrude her every thought is about the event that hurt her pride the most. She was left by a man she once loved, George, on their wedding day. Now, as death is inevitable and drawing closer, Granny remembers George while wishing he could see what she has accomplished in life. Granny wishes he knew she married someone else and had children. Her pride is still hurt, for she never felt vindicated after being left.

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", by T. S. Eliot, revolves around the speaker's feeling of disillusionment and isolation. Prufrock seems to feel emasculated, incapable of finding carnal satisfaction, as well as spiritually inert. He is a man who has never fulfilled his desires, who is lonely and lives through others, who is insecure of his own appearance and ability to talk to women. Prufrock feels reject by society in general, but especially women, and sees death as the inevitable consequence of his unfulfilled life.
