How would J Alfred Prufrock be considered a tragic hero?
Prufrock is a tragic hero because we get the sense that he is in on some secret that no one else knows ( his "overwhelming question") but his lack of self-worth prevents him from asking it. He constantly says that there is "time enough", but the last few stanzas allude to time slipping by and Prufrock slipping into senility while the "overwhelming question" is left behind. (We know this because of the contrast between the questions "Do I dare disturb the universe?" and "Do I dare eat a peach?")
