内容記述 | This paper is an analysis of the spatiality in Virginia Woolf’s The Waves. It is intended as an re-exploration of the inside and the outside of the consciousness represented on the level of the discourse by the internal and the external points of view, and as a reconsideration of the frame of reference which the narrative consciously or unconsciously complies with. I shall prove the lack of the spatial frame of reference that is one of the central problems of the narrating self in this novel. As a beginning two types of frame of reference concerning plot and character are examined. It is difficult for the reader to pursue them in The Waves because they are transposed to such slippery elements as the present time and Percival’s existence. The present time and Percival might have functioned as a frame of reference without the interference of internal time or the internalization of Percival by the characters as the narrators. As a main discussion, I shall look into the spatial frame of reference as the boundary between the inside and the outside focusing on the discourse of the italicized part and the direct-speech part. As a dynamically functioning space, the italicized parts are tangentially connected with the direct-speech parts, and the space presented in these parts becomes an object of presentation. The direction of the point of view of the narrator in the italicized part which keeps a constant direction becomes undecidable around the window which is in the boundary between the outside and the inside of the house. The direction which presupposes the center or origin of it determines the position of the narrator to some extent in such a simultaneous narration as The Waves. But the ambiguous direction makes not only the position of the narrator but also the boundary between the inside and the outside obscure. This phenomenon is rationalized by the characteristics of the points of view of the narrators in the direct-speech parts. The reversal of the direction of the point of view is due to the other’s point of view internalized in the narrator, and it undermines the spatial frame of reference by de-centering the subject. The spatial frame of referece no longer functions to restrict the narrator or the self. We cannot analyze the spatiality by using the external/internal point of view because the boundary between the external and the internal is undecidable. Instead of the external/internal point of view, we had better say something is in the foreground/background of the reader’s perception. Consequently, what The Waves wants to present in front of our perception may be the words as things themselves in the narrative space as an object of presntation. The failure of the frame of reference could originate in the way of presentation of the internal world. Though the presentation of consciousness in The Waves is at first sight reduced to the verbalization of the internal world of self by the internal point of view, it relies on the externality. But the external point of view is deconstructed by the internality itself, and the world of The Waves is left in want of the frame of reference. | |||||
