Virginia Woolf Doc.

 23 - September - 2020

Hello Readers....

This is blog about the Virginia Woolf's Documentary. In previous blog I'm writing about the Virginia Woolf and her biography. Now I'm writing about our professor giving task about Virginia's Documentary. So in this blog I'm presenting those things. 

The mind and times of Virginia Woolf a documentary.

     

After watching some extracts from the documentary, answer the   following questions:        


Right or wrong ? Correct when necessary.     

Her biographer starts by explaining that Virginia Woolf suffered all  her life from physical pains and could   only find comfort in sleep.   

   right      wrong Correction:

_______________________________________________________________

Ans : Right.

Because when anyone have pain so they can't feel good. But in sleep you feel relax and feel painless. 



When   Virginia   Woolf   thought   it   was   time   to   start   writing   her   memoirs,   she   wrote   that   she   could   remember   colours   and   sounds   from   her   childhood,   but   not   many   people.  

     right      wrong   Correction:   ________________________________________________________________

Ans. : 



Fortunately,   she   was   born   after   the   Victorian   era   and   she   did   not   have   to   suffer   from   the   restraints   associated   with   that   time.   

   right      wrong   Correction:   ________________________________________________________________



Virginia    Woolf    always    complained    about    the    unfair    treatment    of    women    in    British   society   because   they   were   mistreated   by   their   husbands.   

   right      wrong   Correction:

________________________________________________________________   

 



Virginia   Woolf   went   to   university   at   the   turn   of   the   century.   

   right      wrong   Correction:   ________________________________________________________________   

  



Virginia    Woolf    lost    her    mother    at    an    early    age    and    that    marked    the    beginning    of    her   mental   illness   because   she   could   not   get   a   grip   on   reality.   

   right      wrong   Correction:   ________________________________________________________________



Multiple-­‐choice   questions:   

  

There   is   a   scene   in   the   novel   entitled   Mrs   Dalloway   that   can   be   said   to   be   biographical:        When   the   main   character   is   getting   ready   for   the   party   and   looking   at   herself   in   the   mirror,   thinks   “this   is   my   life!”   

     When   the   main   character   imagines   holding   her   life   in   front   of   her   like   a   baby   and   walking   towards   her   parents,   says   “this   is   my   life!”   

     When   the   main   character   is   taking   care   of   her   baby,   looking   and   smiling   at   him,   and   thinks   “this   is   my   life!”   

  

Fill   in   the   gaps:   

  

The   Stephen   family   moved   to   ________________________   in   19__.   This   area   in   central   London   was   then   considered   as   a   place   where   _____________________________________________________.


Their   house   soon   became   a   meeting   point   for   artists,   writers,   intellectuals   who   were   all     ________________________    from    Cambridge    university.    Their    main    objective    was    to    discuss   the    nature    of    ________________________,    and    in    the    process    they    had    to    do    without    the   conventions    of    the    times.    Virginia    Woolf    herself    wrote    that    everything    was    new,   everything   was   on   trial,   they   only   wanted   to   ________________________   artistic   activities.   This   enterprise   was   judged   as   very   bold.   

Two   prominent   members   of   her   family   then   died,   which   left   her   very   _____________________.   Correct   the   mistakes:   

  

Virginia   Stephens   got   married   to   Leonard   Woolf   in   1912.   This   event   triggered   off   even   more   mental   breakdowns   on   Virginia’s   part.   When   she   was   institutionalised,   she   started   writing    because    she    was    provided    with    pen    and    paper.    She    underwent    a    total   transformation   at   these   moments,   becoming   cruel   to   the   people   she   loved   most.   

Virginia   published   her   first   novel   in   1915,   when   she   was   21.   It   is   entitled   Voyage   Inside   A   

Mind   and   deals   with   her   childhood   and   the   loss   of   her   mother.   

  

Fill   in   the   gaps:   

  

In   her   novels,   she   rarely   attempted   to   describe   people’s   relationships,   but   rather   what   they   did   not   say   to   each   other,   what   was   in   their   minds.   This   has   come   to   be   known   as   the    _______________1__________________,    which    is    described    in    the    documentary    as    “the    body   language   without   the   ___________2_____________”.
