초록
This article is an attempt to analyze Virginia Woolf’s perspective on Greek. Woolf has been fascinated with Greek since she learned it in childhood unconventionally from his father. In her visits to Greece, she pays attention to the sound of an uneducated Greek peasant’s utterance. In “The Perfect Language,” Woolf emphasizes the phonetic effects of Greek which captivate her. In “On Not Knowing Greek” Woolf cites Agamemnon to exemplify the significance of semiotic process in Greek. The unknowability of Greek is privileged. As the translations cannot represent the sound quality of original Greek works, Woolf undervalues the translations. In The Voyage Out, Clarissa Dalloway is mesmerized by Greek though she does not know Greek words at all. She is impressed by the phonetic effects of it. In Jacob’s Room, Jacob favoring the Greek culture thinks it is meaningless not to shout at Haberstock hill. He also responds to its phonetic effects. In Mrs. Dalloway, Warren Septimus in dementia imagines that birds sing in Greek. She alludes to Choruses in “On Not Knowing Greek.”
