Read the excerpt from "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock." The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes, The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening, Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains, Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys, Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap, And seeing that it was a soft October night, Curled once about the house, and fell asleep. Based on the excerpt, how does the narrator feel about the evening fog?
a)He believes it is stealthy and all-encompassing.
b)He believes it is intrusive and deceitful.
bc)He believes it is soft and beautiful.
d)He believes it is powerful and overwhelming.

a)He believes it is stealthy and all-encompassing.

He describes the fog as being everywhere when he says its on the window-panes, in the drain pools, and "into the corners of the evening". All-encompassing means that it is everywhere, surrounding everything. The way the speaker leaves out any mention of sound or noise makes it seem as though this fog moves quietly. The description of the fog going to the window-panes, the corners, and the pools gives it a quick stealthy feel.

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is a poem written by famous poet T.S Elliot. The poem centrally revolves around present-day thinking of the man on his mental state, decision abilities, and battle with his zeal and timidity.

The correct option is :

Option a)He believes it is stealthy and all-encompassing.

  • From the excerpt, the narrator feels that the evening fog is quiet and ambient.

  • By this extract, the poet wants to tell about the quiet environment around him and the surrounding fog which is all around the place.

  • By stealthy, the poet means that the fog moving around is so noiseless that no one can hear the noise and how it covers all the areas.

Therefore, he compares the evening fog with quietness.
