"The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" by T. S. Eliot (2)
Prufrock is fixated on the idea that "there will be time." He believes there will always be time available to "prepare a face" to meet others and to contemplate his "indecisions" and "decisions." The need to "prepare a face" suggests he is constrained by societal expectations, while the belief that "there will be time" implies he routinely conceals his authentic self in social situations and has become adept at it. He declares, "I have known them all already, known them all:/ Have known the evenings, mornings, afternoons." The repetition of “know them all” emphasizes his feelings of inertia and despair: he is emotionally drained by the meaninglessness of modern life, to the extent that he doesn’t believe he will have the strength to seek out the unknown. He says he has "measured out" his life with "coffee spoons," suggesting that his life is so consumed by mundane rituals that there is no other standard by which his life can be gauged. The repetitive cycle of daily routines distorts his perception of time, reinforcing his belief that "there will be time." But instead of investing his time in taking action, he spends most of it in hesitations, indecisions, and introspective musings. This pattern of behavior, characterized by a retreat to routine, procrastination, and evasion of the “overwhelming question,” ultimately entangles him in a stagnant existence.
Prufrock questions whether he has "the strength to force the moment to its crisis" after taking of "tea and cake," which symbolizes part of his daily ritual. He answers the question with lamentations: "I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker" and "It is impossible to say just what I mean!"He expresses these sentiments before taking action, believing he is destined for unfulfillment within the bounds of his orderly life. Unable to bring up the "overwhelming question," he becomes overly preoccupied with the trivialities of daily life, asking himself, "Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?" When Prufrock fantasizes about hearing "the mermaids singing, each to each," he pessimistically assumes they will not sing to him. In short, Prufrock embodies the archetype of a modern man tormented by suffocating societal conventions. Modern life has filled him with debilitating fear, self-doubt, and inaction, ultimately stripping him of his autonomy.

"prepare a face" sounds unusual to me. I would say "put on a face"
