And I Have Known the Arms Already, Known Them All

After analyzing this poem with the assistance of the "Prufrock Analysis Worksheet" I realized that this poem is far more in depth then I thought before. There are far many more metaphors than I had originally thought. The amount of Imagery is also much greater. The man uses thses things to describe himself through out the poem. He speaks of his insecurities and his fear of growing old. He speaks of hope and want and knowledge. He speaks of a great time in his life that he is afraid will end and after this great time in his life he won't know what to do because he had had his whole life planned out until this point. He also makes several alusions to other literary works.
