He is an interesting character as he wrote a manifesto and was in a way a Irish terrorist against the English colonial power structure of Australia. He is the subject of films, books and paintings. Well known in both Australia, the UK and Ireland.I tried to expand on what Ned Kelly's mask meant by describing the interior as Prufrock's pitied prudent hell. I thought it would be interesting in how his character is so heavily entwined with this steel mask and in this way is a perfect metaphor for a fallic personality or persona overtaking someone's expression of their true self.
