    Virginia Woolf is optimistic about equality between the sexes. During the Modernist period, when Woolf was writing, society was dominated by the patriarchal and there were distinct differences between the ways the two sexes were treated. When Woolf discusses the women’s food, she uses plain prose, short sentences and repetition to juxtapose and contrast the inequity between men and women. “One cannot think well, love well, sleep well if one has not dined well” alludes to the inequality and injustice between men and women. In comparison Edward Albee is pessimistic about equality and in Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? social equality between the genders is represented as being dysfunctional. The boxing match between Martha and George that is referenced is a prime example of the gender conflict presented in the text and exemplifies the challenge to masculinity. Albee, in comparison, looks to reassert the superiority of the patriarchy in Who’s Afraid Of Virginia Woolf?. He achieves this in the very last few pages of the play, where George asks “Who afraid of Virginia Woolf….” and Martha replies, “I… am… George… I… am…”, which confirms George’s…

    Woolf’s purpose of inspiring women to be whatever they want to be is conveyed through two explicit metaphors predominantly used in this essay. The first is the Angel in the House, the Angel representing the image of the stereotypical Victorian era woman. The Angel is “charming”, “sympathetic”, and has all the qualities expected of women. Instead of allowing Woolf to write what she thinks, the Angel attempts to persuade her to “be sympathetic, be tender; flatter; deceive; use all the arts and wiles of your sex. Never let anybody guess that you have a mind of your own.” If the Angel was not stopped, she would have “plucked the heart out of [Woolf’s] writing.” Killing the Angel signifies Woolf’s overcoming of societal pressures to become the clichéd Victorian woman.…

    A Room of One's Own

    Written in 1929, A Room of One’s Own by Virginia Woolf has been broken apart into many different view points and meanings that in a whole, affect woman and/or artists. The interesting thing about Woolf’s piece, is that it’s an essay that uses fictional characters and narration that would later be used to debate whether it was completely a true feminist approach to women’s writing and money, or if wasn’t enough of a feminist approach, especially when involving other races. Some of the critics argue that Woolf way of writing scrambled the ideas that were supposed to be taken from the essay. Others believe that the style in which the essay was wrote had no affect on its meanings involving women and society. Such beliefs lead to never-ending discussions on one of the most important works by a leading writer of the Modernists movement.…

    The name of the play, Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, is a play on words and used as a joke within the story. The title, and the joke as well, sum up the very essence of George and Martha's marriage. Virginia Woolf was an English writer and one of the first and most prominent modernists of the time. She became very popular in the London Literature Society and succeeded in showing a sense of truth behind her characters. In a way Virginia Woolf is used as a metaphor for truth and illusion, a theme constantly hinted at in the play.…

    Mrs. Dalloway is a complex and compelling modernist novel by Virginia Woolf. In the novel, published in 1925, Woolf comes up with a new literary form using which she reveals her views of political, economical and social issues artistically in her work. Virginia Woolf 's short stories, essays, letters, diaries and novels are full of criticism of the social structure. For example, in her first novel, Night and Day (1919), she criticizes the patriarchal dividend in the family that enslaves women. In her novels ranging from the first one to the last, she works towards exploring the relation between the household and public effect of the patriarchal society and between male predominance and female subservience. In her diary entry of 19 June 1923, Woolf writes: 'In this book, I have almost too many ideas. I want to give life and death, sanity and insanity. I want to criticise the social system, and show it at work, at its most intense. 'Critics have continually overlooked her intentions in writing Mrs. Dalloway. According to them, she has been concerned with private consciousness, which incorporates the personal and individual world of her characters in the novel. They are somewhat correct in their explanation, as it cannot be ignored that the characters are engaged in their own private consciousness, for they desire to make their own space in the stark reality of the external world.…

    To the Lighthouse

    • 8 Pages

    As one of the earliest and most influential feminist writers of the last century, Virginia Woolf has offered her readers many different topics of interest such as discrimination, social exclusion and roles of gender in a Enlgish society. Woolf was born on the 25th of January, 1882 to a notable historian, author and critic and her mother renowned beauty. Woolf, one of the foremost modernist literary figures of the twentieth century, started writing professionally in 1990 for the Times Literary Supplement. She touched the topics of stream of consciousness along with the underlying psychological and emotional motives of character. Woolf’s To the Lighthouse has made her a mature, self-fulfilled modern writer. The novel argued Woolf’s personal stand to answer whether “women can’t paint, women can’t write,” that reflected the English prejudice of the role of women in the family and society (Woolf 48). Woolf used Lily’s character throughout the book the let the reader know the progression in becoming an artist. Woolf’s use of Lily throughout the novel showed the upbringing of an incomplete character. Lily along with her painting became a complete object at the end when she realized the reasons behind her need to become an artist, a unique person and above all learn to take advantages of moments and vision in life.…

    After watching the film, I was overwhelmed by the plot which expressed the difficulties these three women faced in their families, their societies and even their lives. The stories of these three women, Virginia Woolf, Leonard Woolf and Vanessa Bell, were perfectly interweaved that it's not until watching through the end of the film that I realized they lived in different times. However, the close intertexture of the three women pertinently shows the similar tough situation women confront with from then until now.…

    Woolf begins by metaphorically describing a fisherman as if he was a girl alone next to a lake. She quotes, “I think of this girl is the image of a fisherman lying sunk in dreams on the verge of a deep lake with a rod held out over the water” (276). She patiently waits at the edge of the lake with a rod lined into the lake. Her goals are in the water and her rod is being used to catch her goals if she waits patiently. The fisherman is able to explore her “imagination” (276) without even thinking about it or letting anything get in her way. Then her rod “dashed itself against something hard” (276) and the girl was in a “dream” (276) and she was awoken. By describing how the fisherman was a girl, Woolf illustrates how a women could think of dreams and inspirations, just like men, but then the dreams are ruined by knowing they wouldn’t come true due to the overpopulation of males during the time. She is convinced that she would never meet her aspirations just because of the opposite sex. Women felt controlled due to the fact that men restricted women to stay and take care of the home. At the time Woolf was too frightened to take the extra step to make her “imagination” come true.…
