how the story was being told, but in different parts
bottoms of trousers were rolled, then he went to the beach
he thought he should have been a crab instead of a person, because if he switched bodies with a crab, the crab would enjoy life, unlike him, who kept on regretting the what ifs
in the end when it talked about waking up from voices, I thought about if that really happened.
maybe Prufrock did live the crazy, packed to the brim glamorous life that he was unable to escape from. So in his dreams he wished his life, was simple, easy, boring to the point of just listening to women talk about Michelangelo. I got this idea from the last words, "...we drown." If he was woken from his sleep and he is forced to return to the hubbub that he so desperately wanted to escape, then it would be similar to drowning in so much "life" it means no life. It is like a royal family trying to take a break for two seconds, but that is impossible because there are schedules and deadlines. The same comes around senior year, when we are bombarded with so may things, to do lists that never end, it seems that only in sleep and dreams are we able to escape it for a minuscule second, but then wake up from the alarm to "drown" in another day like Prufrock possibly did.
