CHARACTERISTICS OF HEROINES IN VIRGINIA WOOLF'S WORKS
This comprehensive guide delves into the distinctive characteristics of female characters within Virginia Woolf's seminal literary works, providing profound insights for an educational-methodological manual. Woolf's literary genius is particularly evident in her ability to craft women of immense psychological depth, who often defy and critique the restrictive gender roles prevalent in early 20th-century society. Through an examination of her pioneering use of «stream-of-consciousness» and her incisive feminist perspectives, this study highlights how characters such as Clarissa Dalloway, Lily Briscoe, and Orlando embody complex interiority, struggle for personal and intellectual autonomy, and engage in intricate relational dynamics. This resource aims to facilitate an in-depth understanding of Woolf's contributions to literary modernism and feminist thought, offering a rich framework for pedagogical application.
