reflection shows a person but reflected backwards. The mirror does not create falsehood; it instead shows the views of every side. Every person is going to see something different when looking into the mirror depending on where they stand. When Virginia Woolf writes she tells the world of an idea everybody can relate to. She writes on women and men and shows how they related through the mirror. Sometimes to empower and others to educate those that don’t have that view point or understand. She writes

reluctant to participate in anything that put us in front of cameras or other people. But the teacher was startled and proud that one of her classes was chosen to participate. And thus, the race to compete was on. Since the debate – talks were on Virginia Woolf’s A Room of One’s Own, it required us to understand her style of writing – Stream of Consciousness. From there on, our part was to understand a book which has multiple meanings and multiple perspectives. To make things easier, our teacher chose

perceive it just as a period in time, rather as a “commitment to experimentation in techniques, freedom in ideas, originality in perceptions, and self-examination in emotions” (Baughman, Bondi, Layman…etc,1) Writers, for example, like James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Ernest Hemingway broke away from the traditional and conventional techniques to create their own literary voice. Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man, Woolf’s Jacob’s Room, and Hemingway’s In Our Time each exemplify distinctive

Part of Septimus’s madness is in his attempt to communicate: “They were alone. He began to talk aloud, answering people, arguing, laughing, crying, getting very excited and making her write things down” (Woolf 58). Septimus believes he has value in his thoughts but cannot articulate them, therefore he makes Lucrezia interpret his actions to make sense of his ideas. Again, readers are invited, along with Lucrezia, to participate in interpretation of this actions to make meaning (Zunshine 850). Actions

In Virginia Woolf’s A Haunted House, images of darkness and light have numerous symbolic meanings. Light is associated with the presence of the ghostly couple that roams the speaker’s home, but it has symbolic meanings beyond that—it represents the insight and truth the speaker gains from observing the couple. In addition, as is revealed by the last lines of the story and the images of darkness used in the story (which provide a counterpoint to the symbolism of light), light represents the love and

Reading the novel To The Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf was hard labor. Every page I turned made me feel that I was in a different place at a different time. Due to the lack of its plot and entertainment, this novel, unfortunately, would immediately fail to engage teenagers, as well as other readers, who are not as interested as Virginia Woolf, to study the humans’ consciousness and the way time moves over the courses of our days. In our everyday lives, we always expect, including myself, to read

mental health begins to deteriorate due to the oppressive lifestyle which she feels society has forced upon her. The Virginia Woolf portrayed by Cunningham, was in fact historically accurate to the original Virginia Woolf. Wolf struggled with mental illness throughout her lifetime and the idea of breaking the mold of traditional women’s roles. Unlike Laura Brown and Virginia Woolf, Clarissa Vaughn enjoys all of the freedoms which the late twentieth century allows, but is still left questioning if

In Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Warren Smith are perceived as completely different people, but as one looks deeper, their characters become hard to differentiate from one another. While Septimus is a young, male, middle class veteran suffering from post traumatic stress disorder, Clarissa is an older woman in the upper class who enjoys throwing parties. However, as the day continues one can see these two characters share more in common than previously determined

Virginia Woolf explains that life for both sexes is difficult and requires one to believe in oneself. She then states that the easiest way to generate self confidence is to create inferiors, and consider oneself superior. By stating this, she generates a reason for the discrimination against women, and part of the reason women, particularly women of lower classes, do not write. It also softens possible critiques from men, she paints their discrimination, not as something done out of malicious intent
