Q: Do you think Prufrock’s struggles are peculiar to him or are they more universal?
-Bazz
A: I definitely think that Prufrock’s struggles are more universal. A lot of what he talked about had to do with his image as well as what other people were thinking. In today’s society, especially with the media these days, that is the most common psychological struggle. He worries about bald spots and how skinny he is. Getting older as well as weight are too things most people worry about and wish to change about themselves.
I think the “too” in your last sentence should be “two.” I do believe that he is way to self-conscious. He needs to be more confident.
