Abstract

Virginia Woolf lived in an era in which the traditional repression was intensive on women. As Woolf grew up in an intellectual environment she was not insensible to traditional repression on women. She paid attention to this topic through literature, the most popular communication device of her time. There are certain women types in her novels. Some of them concede the sanctions of tradition, some of them are uncomfortable with traditions but non—reactive as well. And there are some women characters who defi/ the sanctions of tradition. This study focuses on three female characters in two novels, To the Lighthouse and Mrs. Dalloway. Among these characters Mrs. Ramsay embraces the role the society deems her worthy of as housewife. Mrs. Dalloway is not satisfied with her role as housewife, however; despite her reluctance she still keeps up with requirements of society. And finally favourite character of Woolf, Lily Briscoe, defies the sanctions ofsociety.

Özet

Virginia Woolf'un yaşadığı dönem kadın üzerindeki geleneksel baskının yoğun bir şekilde yaşandığı bir zamana denk gelir. Entelektüel bir çevrede yetişen Woolf bir kadın olarak bu baskılara duyarsız kalmaz. Bu konuya kendi zamanındaki en yaygın iletişim aracı olan edebiyatla değinir. Romanlarında kendi çağının kadınının sorunlarını usta bir dille ele alır. Woolf romanlarında çeşitli konumlardaki kadın karakterler bulunmaktadır. Bu karakterler içinde geleneklerin öngördüğü rolü benimseyen, benimsemeyen veya geleneklere tamamen başkaldıran karakterler de vardır. Bu çalışmada Woolf'un To The Lighthouse ve Mrs. Dalloway adlı romanlarındaki üç kadın karakter ele alınmaktadır. Bu karakterlerden Mrs. Ramsay geleneksel kadın rolünü benimsemiş bir kişilik sergilerken, Mrs. Dalloway geleneklerin öngördüğü sosyal konumundan hoşnutsuz bir karakterdir. Woolf'un gözde karakteri olan Lily Briscoe ise geleneklere başkaldıran bir kişiliktir.
