In "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," T.S. Eliot employs imagery of an urban landscape, reflecting his experimental writing style. Phrases like the city's "yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes" and descriptions of soot descending from chimneys onto street puddles emphasize industrialization. These portrayals align with modernist themes by moving away from romanticized nature and embracing the gritty reality of the modern city.
