Q1: Character of Paul Morel?

ANS: CHARACTER OF PAUL MORAL:
At first, it looks like this book is going to be William Morel this, William Morel
that. But hey, the guy drops dead pretty early in the plot.

Just after William dies, Paul actually sick himself. Nursing Paul back to health
distracted Mrs.Morel from the loss of William, and an intense bond forms
between Mr. Morel and her son Paul “The two knitted together in perfect
intimacy’’.

‘’Mrs. Morel’s life now rooted itself in Paul’’.

In other words, Mrs. Morel completely uses Paul as a faviorit son, William. And, as
Lawrence hints, this is not a good way to forge a healthy mother-son relationship.
He becomes the new canvas for all the hopes and joys Mrs. Morel originally
poured all over William. Throughout the rest of the story, Paul has to struggle
against his mother’s attempts to control his life especially his love life.

Whenever he hangs out with a nice girl named Miriam Leivers, he knows that “his
mother wants to upbraid him There is a tense silence”. He feels terrible guilty
whenever he mentions Miriam to his mother, because he knows his mother
wants to stay away from girls and focus on doing something great with his life.

In the end, Paul feels good about rejecting Miriam because “in his soul a feeling
of that satisfactory of self-sacrifice because he is faithful” to his mother. Clearly,
Paul has been raised to believe that getting romantically involved with a woman is
a betrayal to his mother.

as with Paul, enters the work force doing a profession that requires skill and
technical knowledge.
Q3: Postcolonial aspect in Heart of Darkness:

ANS: Heart Of Darkness in the Postcolonial:

Heart of Darkness is the quintessential colonial tale; it’s about a guy who works
for a Belgian ivory-trading company and sails along the Congo River witnessing
the hatred, violence, and misunderstanding between the greedy colonizers and
the “Savage’’ natives-some of whom have imprison one of that other ivory guys
so they can worship him as a god.

There might be some postcolonial reading that “complicated” the text more, but
for the most part-poco theorists have made respect for the first poco reading on
HOD.

Basically, that HOD and Conrad are-as you might guess from the essay title-racist.

The Congo doesn’t fare much better; it’s a dark, dark place that induces insanity
in our European “hero’’.’ And even though the book can always be read as anti-
colonialist, the story doesn’t against colonialism for the right reason-that is, if
you’re thinking like Achebe.

He was afraid of the natives; they would not stir till Mr. Kurtz gave the word. His
ascendancy was extraordinary. The camps of the people surrounded the place,
and the chiefs came every day see him. They would crawl “I don’t want to know
anything of the ceremonies used when approaching Mr. Kurtz” I shouted. Curious,
this feeling that came over me that such details would be more intolerable than
those heads drying on the stakes under Mr. Kurtz’s window.

You’d think those heads on stakes would be the scary, evil thing about this whole
bad situation, but the narrator refers to the “more intolerable’’ fact that the
natives totally idolize Mr. Kurtz like he’s some African King or god. After all, the
natives are even willing “crawl’’ to Kurtz.

The postcolonist might go on add this point: the whole idea of the dark “savage”’
African native is such a stereotype. Conrad really doesn’t do a thing to go against
this stereotype, he just makes it worse, even if he’s also saying that the way the
“dark people’’ are treated isn’t the greatest.

Q4: Message of Virginia Woolf in To the Lighthouse?

ANS: Message of Virginia Woolf in To the Lighthouse:

Virginia Woolf takes her character in the novel to a far-off island.

To the Lighthouse takes on some elements of Woolf’s own life; she felt stifled by
her father in much the same way that Mr. Ramsay squeezes the life out of his
children. And the sudden death of her mother and her sister Stella left her in deep
mourning.

But, Woolf herself got fed up with critics who insisted on reading the Ramsays as
direct representations of the Stephens. To the Lighthouse is also an extended
meditation on the relationship between art and life, and on late Victorian family
structure.

What makes To the Lighthouse important in literary terms is Woolf’s ambitious

formal experimentation. She’s reallyworking her signature style in this novel, as
she takes two days, separated by ten years, to evoke a whole picture of the
Ramsay family life. He run-on sentences and meandering paragraphs work to
replicate what her character are thinking in addition to what they’re doing. Woolf
is agreat example of the Show Don’t Tell School of Narration. Instead of sketching
us a stiffly realistic portrait of her characters, Woolf goes for emotional impact of
their internal landscapes.

Q5: Character of Mrs. Ramsay and her presence after death?

ANS: Character of Mrs. Ramsay:

Mrs. Ramsy is the most powerful character in the novel “To the Lighthouse’’. V.
Woolf has delireated her character with great creative role the novel will suffer
and collapse.
Mrs. Ramsay is a middle aged woman and farimly and a number of guests in the
summer house near the sea coast. Despite her age, she is a woman of great
physical charms. In the novel there are frequent references to her beauty. She is
admired by anyone Mr. Tansley ismfeeling proud of walking with such a beautiful
lady for the first time in his life complements are often paid to her as for example
the happier Hellen of our times. Moreover she is a polite and cultured lady.

On great pleasure of Mrs. Ramsay life is to bring people together. This aspect of
her character is releade during the dinner party, which forms the climax to the
first part of the Lighthouse.

She is a kindly mother who can tactfully soothe or comfort them even though
sometimes she has to go against hard facts and sacrifices truth. It is her
sympathetic nature which enables her to understand the psychology of others
and thus brings them together. For example, Paul and Monta are brought
together and Tansley or Lily and Bankes are eunited in marriage bond by her.

Mrs. Ramsay is too fully of the milk of human kindness to help the poor and the
needy is a matter of great pleasure for her. She knets a brown stocking for the
lighthouse keeper’s son because he is sick. She sends good food and delicacies to
him.

Mrs. Ramsay has a rare sense of houniour. It this sense of humour, which enables
her to please both her children by covering the boar’s head with her shawl.

Mrs. Ramsay is essential femiure and to round up her character, the novelist has
emphasized her weakness.

Mrs. Ramsay is a perfect hostess. People wondered how with such a meager
income, she was able to feed and look after so many guests and her family. Mr.
Ramsay was not making any big sum of money out of his books. But we see that
she is able to make little go a long way. Infact, she has sympathy and
consideration for other wise abound.

Allthis and much more, Mrs. Ramsay does in the novel. Indeed, in the part of the
novel, as James Hallay past it, Mrs. Ramsay rises from death and lives.
