Virginia Woolf's
Woolf's argument that Bronte wrote with the red light of emotion and Austen wrote in the white light of truth. I though Austen wrote in the red light of emotion but seen Woolf's points comparing Bronte and Austen's writing I realize she was not. I agree with her points because Austen wrote with what she knew and saw in society and in the end of Pride and Prejudice Elizabeth does get married which is what society wanted but she married someone she loved. If she was writing with the red light of emotion she would have kept Elizabeth single and independent. Bronte in the other hand the man goes blind and the wife in the attic died the girl survives and happily ever after but with very bad consequences.

Yeah i totally agree with you that Woolf broke it down to prove that it is better to write in the white light of truth.
ReplyDeleteMaybe Jane Austen was writing in the red light but we're not able to see it because she's a good writer not saying that Bronte isn't but Austen knew how to control herself
ReplyDeleteYes I agree that she might have written in the red light of truth but she wanted us as the reader to take our own opinion. She is a good writer because we are unable to tell the difference.
ReplyDeleteI agree, even though I didn't write about this. The same thing that I was thinking, it is a confusion for this book and every other book to know wether they were written in the white light of truth or in the red light of emotions.
