Blog Prompt 1

I believe that the poem " The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" is a sexual proposition. Hayman seems to have better evidence of this then Walcutts arguement about the poem being a marraige proposal. One of the Haymans's suggestions said that while Prufrock was describing the women he only described her in a physical manner. Prufrock does not describe the womens face or her mind. He focuses more on her arm's bracelet and shawl. Hayman also suggests that that Prufrock is sexual aroused. He says that perfume is affecting Prufrock's thoughts because in the poem it says "Is it perfume from a dress/ That makes me so digress?" Hayman also brings evidence that the poem could not be a marriage proposal. He says that in the poem there is no evidence that the two have spent any time together but allows him to be alone with her on the pillow. If the poem was about a marriage proposal there would be some kind of evidence saying that Profrock have spent alot of time with this women. Hayman says that Prufrock has no past with this women in the poem therefore in cannot be a marriage proposal.
