I can’t help but to agree with all of your thoughts on the wasteland. This poem actually depresses me. To the people in this poem, I am nothing anymore. My life feels just as fragmented as the poem. I’ve never been more depressed and feel so useless to humanity. The poem is basically a complete… View More

It is refreshing to engage with the minds of others, is it not? I have always found it so – the human mind is capable of exciting possibilities and creativity. For instance, the choice of words is vital, and not in poetry alone. Leopold Bloom even creates words, finding meaning in the union of disparate… View More

I will forever be in love with Ms. Virginia Woolf (please don’t tell my wife)! She writes with such elegance, how can you not fall in love? Though she is confusing at times, her writing is beautiful. Poor Peter, he is all caught up on the love that got away. I feel there is a… View More

Mr. Chettam I like how you mentioned that Mrs. Dalloway is a fifty year old woman that feels as if she is a young lady. When I get to be her age, I hope I have the same sentiments as she does. I do not want to feel old or useless, but alive and free…. View More

I do find it strangely interesting the relationship between Mrs. Dalloway and Sally. I do have to agree with you Fred about keeping their relationship as friends. It would have created quite a stir. They have a friendship that I wish I had. I do have to admit, I was a quiet girl that liked… View More

If I say so myself, I find that reading Mrs. Dalloway is quite a journey. There is always something surprising or interesting in every turn the book makes. I find that I am sitting on the edge of my seat waiting for what will happen next. I do have to admit I sometimes find it… View More

I see that you have referenced the domination of man within The Fox, Watson. That sort of thing seems kind of realistic, you know, in terms with man’s actual relationship with nature. If you find the fox to be “intimidating”, does that mean you nature itself to be fearful? Just asking for an honest opinion… View More

So far, I am quite fond of Mrs. Dalloway. She understand the restrictions of love, and knows when differences are too much on a relationship. If two people look at one object and do not understand it to be the same thing, there is no room for the two to be in a relationship. Mrs…. View More

Sir Doyle, What a delight it was to see a fellow man to be as puzzled as I am upon reading this! A reasonable reaction, I’d say. With that of your experience of the Great War, I can see how one would certainly read such an underlining. Common to see how the horrors and death… View More

Ms. Garth, I couldn’t help but notice that some of our thoughts were the same upon reading Eliot’s The Waste Land. Such a fragmented tale, pieces here and pieces there… And what does it all mean? I agree the nature imagery was quite vivid- I recalled details of my voyage as a lad and could… View More
