The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
How does famous simile in lines 2-3 reveal that the speakers mind or will is paralyzed?
Simile
Simile
The lines are:
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
This represents the speaker' feeing unable to find confidence or passion to make his life better, Like a patient etherized upon a table.
