The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock What is the significance of the epigraph to The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock? Asked by bookragstutor on 20 Aug 10:23 Last updated by anonymous on 09 Sep 20:28
Many believe that this is a way that the poet took to set the tone for the poem. The epigraph, itself, is from Dante's Inferno. It would seem to suggest that the poem will be about bad people attempting to pretend that they are good.
