The Road Monologue

I can't believe I'm doing this. Can't really believe I'm driving back to Arkaley. It's weird to me, since I haven't been home in almost eleven years, and I can still remember the way back perfectly. The road was filled with fog after about 20 miles of sun, but that's Ohio I suppose. At least I'll see mom, I hope.

My mother always worried me, living alone in Arkaley, Ohio. I'm not saying Arkaley is particularly a bad town (though it suffers from small town madness, to be fair). I don't really remember my dad, so I was pretty much raised by two people: my mother and Jack Daniels.

Driving back to Arkaley brought back memories, but to be honest, I don't have really strong memories of the place. I remember school, but none of my peers or teachers.

Later in the play, Claudius begins…

emotional distance from the world. Much like the allusion to Dante in the Inferno, Prufrock is confined within a lost and metaphorical hell representing his urbanized environment. We can recognise his detachment from the abrogating imagery and dramatic monologue. “The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes…” - the pollution that encapsulates the city indirectly represents Prufrock’s distorted thoughts. His environment is likewise emulated through the enjambment “Of restless nights…sawdust restaurants…
