    “That is not what I meant at all” is in quotes so it is a response from one of the woman. It is in his head all his worries.

    @PnkFlyd4
    He’s scared of being misunderstood. He’d rather not speak than “disturb the universe” He’s such a hypocrite while hes paranoid about being judged he judges the woman.

    He’s worried that what he says won’t be taken right or if he does make an advance on one of the women that he isn’t mistaken

    You might also say that the fog is smothering, as cats are supposed to smother people while they sleep.

    Prufrock needs to wake up because he is smothering

    This poem is about a young man who fear engaging in life out of fear of rejection. He chooses to feel nothing rather than risk being hurt.
