The epigraph at the beginning of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" does not directly imply anything about the main character of the poem. The epigraph is a quote from Dante's "Inferno," which sets a tone of self-doubt, introspection, and uncertainty that will be explored throughout the poem. It does not provide any specific characterization of the main character as a flame, hero, brave, or antihero.
