- 15282: Boo
- ... timid and downcast man in search of meaning, of love, in search of something to break him from the dullness and superficiality which he feels his life to be. Eliot lets us into Prufrock’s world for an evening, and traces his progression of emotion from timidity to self-disparagement and, ultimately, to despair of life.
