This study is a critical response to the general view that modernist writers mainly focus on an individual, especially on the inner world of an individual, which consequently leads to the lack of representation of community. Reading against this view, this paper intends to show that D. H Lawrence and Virginia Woolf as modernist writers explore the ontological community by representing main characters’ death and the bereaved’ or neighbors’ different reactions in their works such as The Rainbow, Women in Love, Mrs, Dalloway, and To the Lighthouse. In particular, through Tom Brangwen’s death in The Rainbow, Lawrence proposes the desirable community where one’s death evokes spontaneous mourning from remaining people. However, Gerald’s death in Women in Love implies that the society which overly brain-consciousness-developed individuals constitute expels outsiders from the society. Meanwhile, Woolf calls social systems of oppression into question through Septimus’s suicide in Mrs. Dalloway while, through Mrs. Ramsay’s death in Lighthouse, showing that in the desirable community the bereaved or neighbors after beloved ones’ death respond to each other with showing more empathy. In sum, the deaths Lawrence and Woolf describe as both ontological and existential events in their works are fundamental to the community which exceeds any categories that we are bound by, such as social, historical, and cultural influences. The death represented in their works is the awakening event calling for the sense of community. Therefore exploring the deaths the two writers show in those novels, this study demonstrates that the modernist writers are not merely as the portrayers of individual minds, but also as the thinkers of the ontological community in which individuals manifest their individualities.
Abstract
This study is a critical response to the general view that modernist writers mainly focus on an individual, especially on the inner world of an individual, which consequently leads to the lack of representation of community. Reading against this view, this paper intends to show that D. H Lawrence and Virginia Woolf as modernist writers explore the ontological community by representing main characters’ death and the bereaved’ or neighbors’ different reactions in their works such as The Rainbow, Women in Love, Mrs, Dalloway, and To the Lighthouse. In particular, through Tom Brangwen’s death in The Rainbow, Lawrence proposes the desirable community where one’s death evokes spontaneous mourning from remaining people. However, Gerald’s death in Women in Love implies that the society which overly brain-consciousness-developed individuals constitute expels outsiders from the society. Meanwhile, Woolf calls social systems of oppression into question through Septimus’s suicide in Mrs. Dalloway while, through Mrs. Ramsay’s death in Lighthouse, showing that in the desirable community the bereaved or neighbors after beloved ones’ death respond to each other with showing more empathy. In sum, the deaths Lawrence and Woolf describe as both ontological and existential events in their works are fundamental to the community which exceeds any categories that we are bound by, such as social, historical, and cultural influences. The death represented in their works is the awakening event calling for the sense of community. Therefore exploring the deaths the two writers show in those novels, this study demonstrates that the modernist writers are not merely as the portrayers of individual minds, but also as the thinkers of the ontological community in which individuals manifest their individualities.
