After reading the
novel, I can say that I really enjoyed it because of its fantastic portrayal the
character`s personalities, the fact that we could explore to the maximum their
most inner thoughts and feelings.
What I also
enjoyed was the fact that I could really feel that the personalities created by
Virginia Woolf are REAL and that we can totally find examples of them on the
people who surround us, Instead of many literary works which I`ve read before, which
in my example, show cliche characters whom I felt I have read many times
before.
Finally, I could
really enjoy the descriptions of nature and specially the ones related to the
sea. At times I could feel all the sensations described on this
novel, which of course helped me to relax and to transport myself to other
places far away from my hectic way of life.
This is one of my
favourites quotations from the novel related to nature:
“so
that the monotonous fall of the waves on the beach, which for the most part
beat a measured and soothing tattoo to her thoughts seemed consolingly to
repeat over and over again as she sat with the children the words of some old
cradle song, murmured by nature, ‘I am guarding you—I am your support,"
