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: How is this excerpt an example of dramatic monologue

Answer:

The narrator is using long, interconnected sentences.

Step-by-step explanation:

"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot is a modernist poem that deals with themes of alienation, aloofness, isolation, etc. The poem was published in 1915 presenting a tortured psyche of a modern man, overeducated and eloquent.

In the given lines from the poem, the narrator/speaker uses long, interconnected lines to talk about his plan. The lines of the monologue only have a short pause, a comma in between them.

Thus, the correct answer is the first option.
