in her hometown,Remarks,one of the three greatest writers of stream of consciousness,on,e of the pioneers of womens liberation from patriarchy.,In her novel,emphasis is on the,psychological realm,of her characters and the moment-by-moment experience of living,which are depicted by the techniques of,interior monologue,and,stream of consciousness,.,Her books are also noted for their,poetic,and,symbolic,quality,their,subtle,style and their rich,historical and literary reference,.,2/61,Text Analysis3/61,Paragraph 1,According to Woolf,are there many peculiar experiences in the profession of literature for women?Why/why not?,W,hat kind of occupation is writing according to her?,What is“the reason why women have succeeded as writers before they have succeeded in the other professions”,?,4/61,What is the main idea of paragraph one?,In the profession of literature,the author finds that there are fewer experiences peculiar to women than in other professions because many women writers before her have made the road smooth.,5/61,the stage:,With“the”the word means the theater,drama,or acting as a profession.Like literature,the stage involves more women than other professions.,the road was cut:,路已开辟出来了。,making the path smooth:,paving the way(for),regulating my steps:,guiding me as I moved forward 指导我向前进,In my way:,(in ones/the way)in a place or position that prevents someone or something else from moving freely,6/61,The family peace was not broken by the scratching of a pen.,(1)Here the“family peace”has two meanings:,first:calm,quiet,tranquility;,second:harmony,lack of worry and quarrels.,(2),scratching of a pen:,the sound made by an old-fashioned ink pen when it moves on paper,7/61,family,purse,.,“purse”stands for money,financial conditions,family purse:家庭财力/经济,The word“purse”is used figuratively.,This kind of speech is called,metonymy,换喻、转喻.,Metonymy,is another form of metaphor,in which the thing chosen for the metaphorical image is closely associated with(but not an actual part of)the subject with which it is to be compared,.,E.g.,“the white house,”for“the President”,“the crown,”for“the King”or“the Queen”.,He succeeded by the sweat of his brow.,“,sweat of ones brow”,stands for ones hard work,8/61,Pianos and models,Paris,Vienna and Berlin,masters and mistresses,are not needed by a writer.,(1)masters and mistresses:teachers or tutors;professional practitioners,of music or painting;great artists.开业者,实践者,(2)If you want to be a musician or a painter,you must own a piano or hire models,and you have to visit or even live in cultural centers like Paris,Vienna and Berlin.And also you have to be taught by masters and mistresses.However,if you want to be a writer,you dont need all these.,9/61,Paragraph,2,What did Woolf buy with her first reward from writing?,10/61,What is the main idea of paragraph,two,?,The authors own professional experiences,11/61,But to show you how little I deserve to be called a professional woman,how little I know of the struggles and difficulties of such lives,I have to admit that instead of spending that sum upon,bread and butter,rent,shoes and stockings,or,butchers bills,.I went out and bought a cat-a beautiful cat,a Persian cat,which very soon involved me in bitter disputes with my neighbors.,The implied meaning is that in the lives of professional women there are usually struggles and difficulties.When they make some money,they would spend it on bread and butter,rent,shoes and stockings or butchers bills.All of which are basic daily necessities.,12/61,(,1,),bread and butter:a set phrase,means food and the most important and basic things.,rhetorical device-,synecdoche,提喻,bread and butter-food,synecdoche:,a part is used for a whole,an individual for a class,a material for a thing,or the reverse of any of these.,A good synecdoche is based on an important part of the whole and not a minor part and,usually,the part selected to stand for the whole is the part most directly associated with the subject under discussion.E.g.,1.We need 50 hands for the work.(Hands rather than feet are used to stand for people),2.He is a foot soldier.(foot for infantry nfntri步兵),13/61,More examples for synecdoche:,A.The part for the whole,1.,head,:person,He paid the workers$5 per,head,.,2.,heart,:brave fellow,Yet there were some stout,hearts,who attempted resistance.,B.The whole for the part,1.Name of country for group of people of that country,Australia,beat,Canada,at

she have to do battle with during the writing process?,What is the Angel in the House like?,What did the author do with the angel?,Was the angel in the house easy to kill?,Do Chinese women have to do the same battle?,16/61,Main ideas of,Para 3,The speaker focuses on the first obstacle to becoming a professional women writer.She uses a figure of speech“,killing the Angel in the House,”in describing her determination to,get rid of the conventional role of women in her writing.,17/61,What could be easier than to write articles But wait a moment.,(1)The speaker begins this part with a,rhetorical question,which expects no answer.The question implies that writing articles and buying Persian cats with the profits were very easy.,(2)“Wait a moment”calls for,a second thought,or more attention from the audience,signifying that things may not be as easy as they seem to be,and that something important is coming up.The two sentences serve as a transitional device linking her simple story with a discussion of a more serious nature.,18/61,And while I was writing this review do battle with a certain phantom.,(1),do battle with:,to argue with someone or fight against someone.,(2,),phantom,:,The word“phantom”is well chosen for the discourse.It has a literary meaning and a figurative meaning,.,Literarily,it means ghostly image or figure;ghost.,Figuratively,it means,unreal or imagined thing,as seen in a dream or vision;illusion.,Both meanings,suit the context here.In the text,the phantom appears to the sight in the form of an angel,and also it is a mental representation of the stereotyped Victorian woman.,19/61,(1),after,:(especially in British English)given the same name as someone else,especially an older member of your family,e.g.Her name is Elizabeth,after her grandmother.,(2),heroine,:the central female character in a novel,play,etc.,with whom the reader or audience is supposed to sympathize,(3),The Angel in the House,:see Note 8 in the textbook.Coventry Patmore,the author of the poem,The Angel in the Hose,sees his wife Emily as a perfect Victorian wife and head of the home,thus comparing her to an angel.,I called her after the heroine of a famous poem,The Angel in the house.,To be continued,20/61,(4),angel,:,The,original meaning,of the word“angel”is a messenger of God and a supernatural being to whom are attributed greater than human power,intelligence,etc.The conventionalized image of an angel is one of a white-robed figure in human form with wings and a halo.,When,used figuratively,the word means a person regarded as being as beautiful,good,and innocent,etc.as an angel,especially said of women and children.Since an angel is supernatural and often female,it is appropriate for the author to call the phantom an angel.,21/61,Qualities of the angel in the house,Intensely sympathetic,-strong emotion,firm,serious,Immensely charming,-limitless,vast and huge,Utterly charming,-totally,completely,unconditionally,22/61,She was so constituted that she never had a mind or wish of her own.,Paraphrase1:She was made up or formed in such a way that she never had an opinion or wish of her own.,Paraphrase 2:the traditional values that were so deeply rooted in her mind deprived her of a mind of her own.,23/61,use all the arts and wiles of our sex,Arts and wiles,:the two words means the same thing,“the sly and cunning tricks”.,The author is urged to use the tricks of the female sex because a woman has to do so,in order to be successful in a men-dominated profession,Here the word“arts”(in the plural form)is synonym of the word“wiles”.,wile:,wail n.阴谋the use of tricks to deceive someone,24/61,And she made as if to guide my pen:,She moved in a way that it seem that she is going to guide my writing.,Make as if to do something:,move in a way that makes it seem that you are going to do something.,e.g.,Fred,still grinning me,made as if to hit me.,弗莱德，一直抓着我，似乎要打我。,25/61,I now record the one act for which,下面我要说说多少是我自己决定一个事情，当然此事功劳主要应归功于我了不起祖先，是他们给我留下了一笔财产 比如说每年五百英镑这么我就无须完全靠女人魅力去某生了。,credit,:praise;approval for an act,ability or a quality.,26/61,I turned upon her and caught her by the throat.,turne upon sb:attack sb violently,catch sb by the throat:扼住某人喉咙,27/61,if I were to be had up in a court of law,Have sb.up:take sb,to,(inf.):take sb to court.,Eg.Last year he was had up for drunken driving.,28/61,Had I not killed her she would have killed me.She would have plucked the heart out of my writing.,To kill the angel,:to get rid of those Victorian attitudes and values completely,-,if she had not done so,these conventional ideas would have destroyed her.It is a life-to-death struggle.,the Victorian conventions of being a woman will take the essence of her writing,which is,as explained in the next sentence,having a mind of your own,expressing what you think to be the truth about human relations,morality,and sex.,The sentence means,those conventional attitudes would have taken away the most important part of her writing,that is,the essence of her writing.,pluck:v.摘,猛拉,拔.pull or pull out sharply,heart:n.essence,29/61,She died hard.,She didnt die easily.She had to be killed.,the implied meaning,is that one had to fight against the Victorian traditions bravely and resolutely in order to get rid of them.,30/61,Though I flatter myself that killed her in the end,the struggle was severe;.Greek grammar,roaming the world in search of adventures,To illustrate by comparison:,-Although I made myself believe that I killed her in the end,the struggle was severe and it took so much more time than had been expected that one would rather spend all that time in learning Greek grammar or traveling in the world in search of adventures.,roam,:,v.漫游,闲逛,徜徉move about aimlessly or without any destination,often in search of food or employment,31/61,Main ideas of,Para 4,After the Angel was dead,the question which remains to be answered is“What is a woman?”It is a transitional link between the authors first and second experiences,32/61,I mean,what is a woman?,I mean,what is the identity of a woman?The seemingly simple question of what is a woman addressed the very basic question about,the identity and the role of a woman in society,.When traditional values are criticized,it takes time for new values to be shaped and accepted.It is a long process.,33/61,I do not believe that anybody can know until human skill,-I believe that to know what is a woman,we women have to participate in all the arts and professions open to human knowledge and understanding and to give expressions to our feelings in creative forms.,Translation:我相信，只有妇女在人类知识所包括全部文学艺术和专业领域用创造形式表示自己情感后，她们才知道什么是妇女。,Express herself:,to state ones thoughts;to give expressions to ones feelings,imagination,etc,in creative or artistic activity,Human skill:,here,“skill”means knowledge,understanding,judgment.The definition is no longer in use.,34/61,Para 5,Why did Woolf want to become a novelist?,What is a novelists chief desire?,Why does a novelist want life to proceed with the utmost quiet and regularity?Why does he want to do the same things day after day and month after month?,According to woolf,what rouses a woman writer from her trance?,Do men allow women writer to talk about their body and passion?,35/61,main idea of Paragraph 5,As unconscious as possible,the 2nd experience,woolf talks about her,second experience in her profession of literature,.As a,novelist,she wished to remain as unconscious as possible so that nothing might disturb or disquiet the imag,i,nation.But,she was faced with the conflict between her own approach to art and the conventional approach expected of her by male critics.,She believed that,sex-consciousness was a great hindrance to womens writing,.,To illustrate this point,she employs a second figure of speech,the image of,a fisherman lying sunk in dreams on the verge of a deep lake,.,36/61,proceeds,:,收益,the income or profit arising from such transactions as the sale of land or other property,a still stranger thing,:,更奇怪事情,Here the word“still”is an adverb,which is similar in meaning to“even”.,give away,:,To give away is colloquial,meaning to expose,reveal,or betray.,37/61,Why as

fiction in“the Art of Fiction”,she explored the psychological nature of consciousness.,As for woolf,she explored the,psychological nature of consciousness,.,The description of the,immediate flow,of
