버지니아 울프의 작품세계에 대한 감상

[1] As I read this book, Woolf taught me that it is okay to not entirely understand yourself all the time, as humans are ever-changing beings. She taught me that “A self that goes on changing is a self that goes on living.” These ideas are prevalent through her characters’ questioning and reflections.

Aging, changing and evolving is a beautiful part of life that must be embraced by us all. Her characters are not perfect human beings, they are flawed and very real. Her reflection of humanity is eerily accurate.

Personally, The Waves swept me up and spat me back out with a whole new outlook. The past cannot be changed and the future cannot be predetermined. All we have is now and all we can do is what we think is best. Woolf taught me that I will never know the answers and that is okay because ‘I am made and remade continually.’

She taught me that I am both alone and not alone in this world, forever surrounded with masses of people who feel the same way as me; people with pasts, regrets, anxieties and hopes. But ultimately we have ourselves to lean on.

We are all of Woolf’s characters; both alone and intertwined with the people around us.
