Post- class discussion Eliot thought.

...Yeah, *just* a thought.
I find one thing interesting in the whole predicament concerning the epigraph. It seems like a direct correlation can be drawn between Dante's passage and Eliot's poem in one discernable example. The "Do I dare" line--uttered by Guido-- we discussed in class that reflects on Prufrock's indecisiveness, conflicts with the fact that the charcater in the epigraph does the opposite; he says what he wants to say to the one he's conversing with. So it seems like my comment in my last post, and the one I've made in class, wasn't too far off. Eliot's likening Prufrock to Hamlet serves as evidence for this fact. Much like Hamlet, Prufrock's lack of confidence and indecisiveness are the attributes that consign him to obscurity.
