From "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T.S. Eliot
No! I am not Prince Hamlet, nor was meant to be;
Am an attendant lord, one that will do
To swell a progress, start a scene or two,
Advise the prince; no doubt, an easy tool,
Deferential, glad to be of use,
Politic, cautious, and meticulous;
Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;
At times, indeed, almost ridiculous—
Almost, at times, the Fool.
In this portion of the poem, why does Prufrock say he is not like Shakespeare's Hamlet?
A) He is much more interesting than Hamlet.
B) He is far less interesting than Hamlet.
C) He is not royalty like Hamlet.
D) He is royalty, unlike Hamlet.
