Comparing Viginia Woolf and D.H.Lawrence
Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence have some similarities in spite of living in different times. We can put them in three titles: sexuality, politic and society. But both of them criticised different themes. Virginia Woolf criticised men and D.H. Lawrence criticised humanity. When Virginia Woolf criticising men, she based on her life. Because, she lived in society which men were sovereign. D.H. Lawrence lived in same society in a different way. Because the society he lived was conservative. So, both of them reflected their lives to their works. Virginia Woolf and D.H. Lawrence were radical in their times. Their thoughts and works were different. Sometimes they were excluded from the society or prevented. But never they compensated to their thoughts and aims. In my opinion, both of them wrote their works to depict their revolt and they showed the life that they never lived. In D.H. Lawrence's works, his most clear feature is his open mind to sexuality .He mentioned the sexuality in different ways. He didn't talk about its ugliness, dirtiness. He did not mentioned with shyness about it. D.H. Lawrence mentioned sexuality like religious respect. He showed obviously t
The third techniques free indirect style. In Mrs. Dalloway, the past is inside the present. At the beginning, when Clarissa goes out to buy flower, I was sunny. Since the narrator's mind is depending on the character's mind, this allows the readers follow the minds of the characters. External object is introduced as a means of transition from the mind of one character to another. We are told that Mabel has kept house for her brothers, for ten years. In this time, the business, once prosperous, has disintegrated into a place where " everything was gone to the dogs, there was nothing but debt threatening." D.H. Lawrence didn't believe to democracy. Because people were not equal. He was extremely individualistic. According to him, the government must support to the compatriot are free and develop their self-conceit. The government have not chosen a bad aim. "They were all frightened at the collapse of their lives, and the scene of disaster in which they were involved left them no inner freedom." Another technique is inferior monologue. She captures the private thought of her characters in this way. This allows her to transfer from one to another and allows the reader insight into each character's mind. The narrative leaves one mind and enters another. "She felt that she had been given a present, wrapped up, and told just to keep it, not to look at it - a diamond, something infinity precious, wrapped up, which, as they walked she uncovered, or the radiance burnt through, the revelation, the religious feeling." While Virginia Woolf was writing Mrs. Dalloway, she wanted to criticize the settled regime. Because of this in Mrs. Dalloway, Hugh Whitbread is the representative of the regime. Peter Walsh is the opposite of him and according to Peter; Hugh Whitbread has nothing except the feature of English gentlemen. Hugh Whitbread has a job in Kingdom Palace. He wrote ridiculous letters, which was liked to Times. Peter Walsh degraded as saying that he preferred to listen the voice of the monkeys in India's forest. Virginia Woolf is cruel to him and charges him with being hypocrisy. Because he helps people for his benefits.
