Read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."

"Let us go then, you and I,
When the evening is spread out against the sky
Like a patient etherized upon a table;
Let us go, through certain half-deserted streets,
The muttering retreats
Of restless nights in one-night cheap hotels
And sawdust restaurants with oyster-shells:
Streets that follow like a tedious argument
Of insidious intent
To lead you to an overwhelming question . . .
Oh, do not ask, “What is it?”
Let us go and make our visit.
In the room the women come and go
Talking of Michelangelo. "

The excerpt is an example of what type of narration?
a) dramatic monologue
b) third person, all-knowing
c) dramatic dialogue
d) second person, limited

The excerpt from “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” is a dramatic monologue because it is relatively straightforward and uses the pronoun “I” to express feelings. It was delivered with more description, opinion and thoughts, which the reader can relate more easily.
