Answer:

It distorts the traditional concept of a love song.

It emphasizes the search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.

Step-by-step explanation:

The poem "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" breaks away from traditional poetic conventions by distorting the traditional concept of a love song and emphasizing the search for meaning in a seemingly meaningless world.

This poem is a sad and melancholic poem which questions love and the feelings of being loved, hope, and also how it feels to be alone.

The writer is aching for the love of someone who so far has refused his advances which causes him to be sad, even though he doesn't want to give up.

This is completely against the love ideal of something to be happy and cheerful about.
