Prufrock end it calling himself crab-like. When you get to the lines 120 to 131. the poems is already giving you some incredible and impossible ocean imagery. One that has the singing of mermaids and the sea-girls wearing seaweed. If the world is so isolating, being a crab in the middle of the described imagery is not that bad. And that is the point. The correct answer is:

D Prufrock wishes he were a crab living on the seafloor

Answer from: bri1334

Hi!

The answer is option D. The event from the love song that best shows the isolating world theme is that Prufroock wishes he were a crab living by the sea floor.

Explanation:

The title, the epigraph, and the first lines of the song are just some techniques used to demonstrate the isolationism of the modern man in Eliot’s classic poem, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock”. In this poem, the character is trying to find love but is having a hard time with this as he is fearful, analytical and depressed. This is why he wishes he were a crab living on the sea floor. If he were a crab he could keep to himself, stay away from people, and safe on his own.

Buckminster boy. she glared at him. "lizzie, i swear to you, as sure as i'm standing right here—that's a lie. every bit of it. every single bit." "my granddaddy said it was a lie, too." she leaned her head to one side and looked at him steadily. "so why haven't you been down to the island? " "so only you get to ask questions now? " "yes." she waited. "i haven't been down to the island because my father believes that you were using me to you stay on malaga island." "well," she said slowly. "well." "i didn't believe it, either." the sea breeze lay at their feet panting, hoping they would play with it again. based on what turner and lizzie say, which is the best conclusion that can be drawn? they are angered by the lies the adults have been spreading. neither of them is able to fully trust what the other is claiming. each trusts the other and cares a great deal about their friendship. both are worried about the troubles their friendship may bring.
