This paper aims at analysing the stated poetic piece as a discourse and setting it against the backdrop of a literature classroom at the tertiary level with a view to understanding how the aforementioned three-phase-analysis of a text can help the learners go beyond the limit of identifying with the objective reading of a discourse, and thus they pave their way to the undiscovered world of signification and eventually can relate to a social context where the meaning is multiple and the voices are polyphonic. dialogic criticism, which was quite challenging. Alfred Prufrock " as a part of an undergraduate course at a University (in Bangladeshi context) led us to the discovery of a threefold analysis (phase by phase) of the poem: a. The response(s) may contradict the feedback, or else the feedback may bring about epistemic violence and thereby may subvert the projected meaning(s). Finally, there is a conclusion to the study.Īny message encoded in a certain discourse on the common ground of reference, purpose or aim that a discourse serves, runs the risk of semantic gap at the crucial moment of decoding. Following that, the third section explores self-conflict in "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock" by T. Then the second section attempts to give an account of self-conflict in "The City of My Heart" by Seid Kamily Emamy. The central conflicts of these poems are encapsulated in the figures of their apparent heroes.

Alfred Prufrock” is a poem that exemplifies the values of Victorian age Decadence.
