![]() ![]() ![]() Virginia Woolf's words are not just the tools for her writing but the words themselves are constructing and de-constructing a main plot of the novel. I want to look at how Virginia Woolf uses the words from the people, sounds from the things, and the images of clothes and history for her story in her last novel, Between the Acts. The acts in the title of the novel are not only the acts in the play, but also the motion which the characters make and expect, and the motion of the natural sounds and the silence which the people cannot control the interruption from them. The characters in the novel are in the between representative words and their intentions which are overlapped into the words or erased and hidden by the words. I think Woof explores how the communal use of the words like songs and cliché makes another meaning or another reversion in their daily life here. This novel constructs the images and the representation with their conventional words and actions of the characters. However, Woolf uses common and conventional words and images with an experimental way in this novel. Like the other novels I read in the class, the images in the Between the Acts cannot be separated with the story development, and the images themselves construct the story in the book by dismantling the conventional expectation for the novel. Virginia Woolf uses many images in the Between the Acts. ![]() Incandescent clichés in Virginia Woolf's Between the Acts ![]()
