: Not easy for a female to comprehend the deeper meanings.
: But this is a very cleaver exposition of an individual male immersed in and delights in ual imagery (I have known the arms already)ie a female porograhic image (which the poem camoflages)who aspires to have the real thing and the poem relates his journey from delighting in ual imagery "sawdust resturants and oyster shells" (the oyster is the ual image which he feasts upon in grubby situations)to entering the boudoir of a real ual partner. His journey is littered with self doubts over the future ual act "force the moment to its crises" to expectations of ridicule "hold my coat and snicker" (ie the female and her friends deriding the manhood of a disrobed Prufrock) to possibly completely misjudging the female's expectations of "if one settling a pillow by her head should say that is not what I meant at all".
: At the end, the poem poses the question whether there actually was a journey to have with a real feamale or was all part of a ual fantasy of conquest and pleasure "We have lingered in the chambers of the sea (ual imagery) by sea girls (ual objects)wreathed with seaweed red and brown (red for prostitute) till human voices wake us and we drown. (an actual encounter with a real female s away the dreams of ual fantasy). But the images still have a strong draw upon Prufrock "I have seen them riding seaward (heading in the direction of the fantasy world)on the waves (allusion to a rising male organism) combing the white hair (ual mage leading to organism with expelling of white semen) of the waves n back" (act of organism) Prufrock still enjoys an organism but would a session with a real female be more enjoyable ? Prufrock faces this dilemma whenever the desire arises so, he embarks on his journey once again.
