- His inner monologue as he goes from his bachelor apartment to the streets and his intent for making this trip. His special intent=to declare his love for a woman there (special acquaintance) and his reason for doing so is that he doesn't want to grow old alone.
- In short, he was afraid. of rejection? Sure, but more indifference. Indifference=opposite of love/commitment
Alienation = Being separated from (result in isolation)
- The forces of the modern world, the individual psyche is not strong enough to stand up to them
- Result in (like Proofrock) too much (unhealthy) focus on self.
Proofrock = monumental inferiority complex
- All dressed up, proud of his appearance, and yet worried about what people will say about him. An ego that is so large that he can never get out of bounds of it, and yet cares what other people think. Not free with his freedom.
- Trip from his bachelor pad to a party with the intention to profess his love to a woman because he doesn't want to grow old alone
- Can't do it, paralysis, afraid of her indifference
- Retreats into a kind of fantasy world after
- Isolation, loneliness
