Topic > Examples of Allusions in J Alfred Prufrock's Love Song
When it comes to tragedy, both works are about different types of tragedy. Hamlet as a text is a revenge tragedy, which is when someone who has been murdered sends someone else to avenge him but in the end both the person who avenged and the person who committed the murder die. In Eliot's The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, there is no revenge, so it is not a revenge tragedy, but it is still a tragedy because tragedy is also defined as a type of poetry that causes pity. If there is any kind of emotion produced by Elliot's work it's a shame. Prufrock is a character who can be annoying but at the same time feels a hint of sorrow
