T. S. Eliot’s The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is one of the important poems in his early writing life, but this is not a traditional love song as expected. The paper tries to use metaphor, contrast, and allusion to analyze this poem from the perspective of defamiliarization to reveal its defamiliarization effect, aiming to disclose modern people’s blank spirit and drying emotion.
