prelude as representation of monotony of modern life.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
Preludes" is made up of four poems written by the modernist poet T.S. Eliot between 1908 and 1912, when Eliot was in his early 20s. They were later collected in Eliot's debut Prufrock and Other Observations in 1917. Broadly speaking, "Preludes" is about the drudgery, waste, and isolation of modern urban life. The unnamed city in which the poem is set is a grimy, dingy place, in which people unthinkingly partake in monotonous daily routines.
winter evening begins to quiet down, signaled by the smell of steaks cooking, which wafts through side-streets. It's six o'clock. The end of the day is smoky like the burnt-out stubs of used cigarettes. And now the rain and wind blow the dirty scraps of dead leaves around your feet, along with thrown-away newspapers blown through empty, undeveloped plots of land. The rain can be heard beating on broken blinds and chimney pots, and at a street-corner there's a lonely cab-horse steaming in the cold and stamping its hooves. And then gas-powered street lamps are lit.

The morning begins to wakes up, with the stale but not too strong smell of beer from the street, which is covered with sawdust that has been trampled by muddy feet rushing to buy an early coffee. Along with all the other illusions that daily routine makes people go through again, one is also prompted to think about all the hands pulling up dirty blinds in thousands of furnished rooms all over the city.
