Through a close analysis of the novel’s narrative structure and key scenes, the article argues that ethical discomfort does not evolve into enduring moral judgments within the text;rather, it is continually managed and deferred through the interplay of aesthetic order, familial discourse, and the distribution of social roles. The novel eschews a linear trajectory of ethical awakening, instead crafting a narrative mechanism that keeps ethical experience palpable yet inarticulable. The female subject is given the role of sensing ethical incongruity, but lacks the narrative position from which to articulate it as judgment. Consequently, ethics remains confined to the level of personalization and unimplementability. Far from a narrative of moral growth or awakening, The Garden Party exposes why ethical judgment has become structurally unrealizable in modern narratives.展开更多

There are three girls in the Burnells , one is Isabel---the eldest sister, the second one is Lottie, and the third one is Kezia. Kazia is the heroine of the story. When the marvellous house stood in the garden, the Burnell children sounded as though they were in despair.展开更多

Woolf＇s observation invites us to question： is Mansfield a mere sentimentalist or is her characterisation technique misunderstood？ The first section of this paper demonstrates that attributing Mansfield＇ works as ＂sentimental＂ is erroneous since Mansfield＇s strategy is to change the masks of her characters within her stories, revealed in her letters and journal entries. Following the first section of this paper, I aim to explore how Mansfield extends this strategy of changing masks in daily life to her fictional characters in ＂Je ne parle pas fran^ais＂ （1918） by equipping them with different types of masks--speech and facial expressions, gender, and animality--to respond to changes in their situations and toward the characters around them. Particularly important to this exploration are Joan Riviere＇s insights into gender in her article, ＂Womanliness as Masquerade＂, Michael Goldman＇s theory of masks in acting in his The Actor＇s Freedom： Toward a Theory of Drama and Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari＇s concept of ＂becoming-animal＂ in KaJka.＂ Towards a Minor Literature.展开更多

No, perhaps in Prose＂ in her journal entry of 22 January 1916 shows that Mansfield plans to experiment with a kind of poetic prose, or in her own words--＂special prose＂. The profound affinity between the ＂special prose＂ and the notion of elegy, ＂a mournful poem for the dead＂ （OED, ＂elegy＂, n. sense 1）, calls attention to her work＇s decisive but still insufficiently examined relationship to poetry and her preoccupation with mortality. Second, the words ＂scraps＂, ＂bits＂, and ＂nothing real finished＂ in her journal entry of 19 February 1918 indicate that the mortal fragility she writes about in her ＂special prose＂ is closely bound up with verbal fragility, as embodied, for example, in the form of an ellipsis mark that she uses extensively elsewhere in her short stories. Her connection to poetry and her use of ellipsis marks will be discussed by looking at the impact of John Keats＇s poems on her own work and ＂The Canary＂ （1922）, the last story she completed before her death.展开更多

Her stories are sensitive revelations of human behaiour in quite ordinary situations, through which we can glimpse a powerful, and sometimes cruelly pessimistic view of life. A Dill Pickle is one of her short stories published in 1917, describing the encounter between a young woman and a young man who have been lovers six years ago and their lost love and changes over the years. Short as it is, it is really worth our earful analysis and appreciation. This paper will comment on this short story from the following two aspects： a commont on the theme of the story; a comment on the writing technique of the story. The paper conludes that romantic love is dependent upon circumstances and the convergence of certain character traits at a particular time.展开更多

In the context of British society in the early 19th century, Fanny's marriage had a strong symbolic meaning:through mar-riage, Fanny was legally accepted by Mansfield Park;at the same time, she was also given an opportunity to temporarily escape from the oppression from the parents of Mansfield Park (although she could never escape from the control offeudal system);the ac-ceptance of Fanny was a reflection of the efforts of the gentry (represented by Sir Thomas Bertram, Edmund's father) to ameliorate slavery when it was declining.展开更多
