Read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."Let us go then, you and I, When the evening is spread out against the sky Like a patient etherized upon a table; Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets, The muttering retreats Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells: Streets that follow like a tedious argument Of insidious intent To lead you to an overwhelming question . . . Oh, do not ask, “What is it?” Let us go and make our visit. In the room the women come and go Talking of Michelangelo. The excerpt is an example of what type of narration?
B
third person, all-knowingThe speaker addresses a “you,” but the poem mainly presents one speaker’s thoughts and perspective rather than narrating a story from an outside viewpoint. That makes the passage a dramatic monologue: a single character speaks to an implied listener, revealing his thoughts through the speech. “Second person, limited” is tempting because of “you and I,” but the passage is not primarily narrated by a second-person narrator.
