Prufrock
The lines "And time yet for a hundred indecisions, And for a hundred visions and revisions," put together exactly the dominant feeling and attitude of T.S. Eliots poem The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. From start to finish the character Prufrock in the poem constantly blurts out different ideas and emotions and seems to modify them each time as he continues. This indecision seems to revolve around the character who constantly questions his actions and thoughts. Prufrocks strong juxtapositions in his thought and its irregularity serve as a way to go beyond regular dialect and present a much deeper level of insight into his emotions and his inner workings.

Cyrus, I completely agree with you that the narrator is very indecisive and even insecure. I like your comment about how his indecisiveness and his insecure comments often reflect who he really is. I really agree. Because through all of his language, and views, and questions we are revealed to a different side of him, a more insecure side.
