This paper is to search for Prufrock’s vision of reviving the world of poetry and his tragic fate in The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock. The main research contents include the Recognition of the identities of characters, the analysis of the conflicts between the characters, and discussion on the methods of redemption. Recognition of identities of Prufrock and the women mainly depends on reasoning. Different social status and critical views brew the conflict between Prufrock and Michelangelo women. Prufrock’s journey of redemption consists of two parts: the disillusionment of the exterior vision of seeking to salvage the dissatisfaction at Romanticism, and the inner vision of revising inefficacy of metaphysical and symbolist wisdom. Prufrock’s tragic fate stems from his indecisive character, the pain of not being recognized and accepted, and his Apollonian dream.
