Prufrock

I love the structure of this piece. I like how it is very random and switches between structured rhyme scheme and no rhyming. It's more creative and helps the reader understand the point Eliot is trying to get across. The structure really gives the reader the feeling of the speaker. This is because when the poem begins to rhyme, the reader feels more at ease and more comfortable with the flow of the structure. Then when the poem stops rhyming, the reader is uneasy and is more alert to what is being said. I think this is a very good tool and should be used more often.
