Abstract: The love song of Alfred j prufrock is a masterpiece of the modern times. With the overlapping of the post modern over the modern times this piece of poetry has opened the attributes of an archetypal lover of both the times to be similar and also different. Classifying the text of the poem with the text of a contemporary novel as having striking similarities and undoable differences this paper strives to glue the times together and assert the commonness in discourse of love.

Keywords: Modernism, postmodernism, archetypal lover, comparative analysis, and discourse of love.
