Using Stylistic Rhetoric, analyze T.S. Eliot's argument through the character of J. Alfred Prufrock. Firstly, what is Eliot telling us about the man, his life, and his circumstances. Use the strategies that Eliot presents to you as a springboard to show your audience the basic facts of the story. While you are laying out the story, analyze these facts and use them to try to cipher out Eliot's true meaning and argument. What is he trying to convey to the reader? How is he trying to say it? What argument is he making? While analyzing, evaluate the effectiveness of his argument. Does his use of stylistic rhetoric move you, or does it make you less likely to listen to him?Remember that, this being a poem, Stylistic rhetoric is the most useful way to analyze it. Look at the ways the pieces of stylistic rhetoric appeal to Pathos. Analyze what emotions are being evoked, how powerfully they are being evoked, and how well they support the main Claim the author is presenting.Here's the text itself:https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/44212/the-love-song-of-j-alfred-prufrock
