“Portrait of a Lady” is characteristic of Eliot’s early secular poetry in that it is preoccupied with the bourgeois lifestyle
of Eliot’s English environs and candidly presents the mind of a male in a perfunctory relationship with a sophisticated
woman.
Indeed, the poem is a complement to Eliot’s more famous poem, “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” which
precedes “Portrait” in the 1915 publication Prufrock and Other Observations. The two pieces are remarkably similar in
their resigned tone and language–they share words and phrases such as “fog” and “dying fall”–but they take different
approaches to romance in 20th-century middle-class society.
While “Prufrock” depicts the indecision of a male narrator as he ponders his ambiguous relationship with a woman
whom he loves, “Portrait” takes the opposite approach and examines a nervous, despairing woman’s romantic
advances from the perspective of an apathetic narrator. “Portrait of a Lady” could be seen as a model of what would
happen to Prufrock if he confessed his feelings, but his worst fears came true. The lady has the courage to discuss her
hopes of a deeper friendship with the narrator, but her sentiment is unrequited and she is ultimately hurt by her
confession when the narrator goes abroad.
12. Explication

“Portrait of a Lady” is a poem about the degenerating relationship between a man–the narrator–and an older lady of
upper middle-class background. The poem divides itself into three parts that trace the trajectory of the friendship from
winter (“Among the smoke and fog of a December afternoon "to spring (“Now that lilacs are in bloom” and ending in
autumn (“The October night comes down”. The two meet and discuss music, friendship, youth, and regret during these
three seasons until the man decides to leave the country in the final section.
The melancholy woman survives her banal life, “a life composed so much, so much of odds and ends,” through leisure
activities, such as going to concerts and drinking tea. Nevertheless, she feels suffocated by her inane existence: “life,
what cauchemar” . She admits to the man that without her friendships her life would be a nightmare, and it quickly
becomes apparent that she desires the narrator to become one of his closest acquaintances. The lady, however, fails to
engage the man in serious conversation and he drifts off into reverie by the end of each section.
