Response To Literature--
|
|
|
|
How Should One Read A Book?
|
|
|
|
While reading Herman Wouk's classic tale, The Winds of War, I came
|
|
across several passages describing a young man's vision of Germany.
|
|
Although the author supplies me with his ideas, his desire and his
|
|
provocative details on how this young Major views Germany at the time of
|
|
the second world war, I still find myself wondering and questioning aspects
|
|
of the written text before me. Apart from being drawn from my sub-conscious
|
|
state to a more subtle and unconscious condition, several questions begin
|
|
to from within my mind. Have I ever seen Germany before? What were the
|
|
political conditions? What did the SS Stormtroopers look like? What did a
|
|
concentration camp reveal? By triggering these sensors and somewhat
|
|
emotional queries within me, the author has already caused a clockwork
|
|
cycle to commence which will enlighten my reading and eventually create
|
|
enjoyment and furthering interests with his novel. This is what Virginia
|
|
Woolf focuses her composition about and emphasizes so very clearly
|
|
|
|
After reading her essay, I came to grasp and understand her theory that
|
|
one is best not to accept advice from another on how to read literature,
|
|
since the best advice is no advice at all. Woolf expresses the conception
|
|
that when one begins to read literature he begins to enter different stages
|
|
of interpretation that will ultimately improve his pleasure and
|
|
satisfaction. It was obvious to me that I had in fact indulged in forms of
|
|
interpretation when reading literature, but it had never dawned on me until
|
|
reading Woolf's essay. Whenever I am subjected to something in literature
|
|
that is not fully comprehensive, I begin to engage in several different
|
|
forms of interpretation. The first stage would reflect much of the
|
|
philosophy composed in the essay 'Against Interpretation' whereas I, the
|
|
reader, would observe the content and then translate the form. Literature
|
|
induces the reader to use his experience and memories to comprehend what a
|
|
person, place or thing is and then interpret it. Th econd stage would
|
|
involve translating where one begins a comparison sequence trying to link
|
|
their past knowledge with the subject introduced by the author. It is this
|
|
comparison which creates a variation of ways in which every person reads or
|
|
understands literature. Therefore, each individual is different in respects
|
|
to forms of interpretation based on their past experiences and knowledge.
|
|
It can be true to say that every man is only made up of his memories. I
|
|
would therefore agree with Woolf's analogy that there is no greater gift
|
|
than that of literature. Somehow, I felt illuminated by obtaining an
|
|
insight from Woolf in respects to how man must remain a reader and not a
|
|
critic. Every person on this world develops, is raised and educated
|
|
differently and it is this difference that makes literature so enigmatic
|
|
and complex.
|
|
|
|
I often find myself so deeply absorbed into a novel that the world
|
|
constructed within my mind, through my unique form of interpretation, is so
|
|
terribly realistic I cannot stop reading the book. My entire being is
|
|
enthralled by the work of this particular author who, through his style and
|
|
form of writing, has managed to throw me into an abyss of subconscious
|
|
interpretation. Woolf stresses the importance of how each individual
|
|
creates different visions and reactions to literature that lead to a
|
|
conclusion brought upon their own methods of interpretation. Although my
|
|
own method of reading has not been altered after reading her essay, it
|
|
allows me to put the whole concept of literature into perspective and how
|
|
it affects me in life. I have begun contemplating the different
|
|
characteristics involved in creative writing and how every person who reads
|
|
literature will analyze it. After all, this is what Virginia Woolf was so
|
|
willing to express in her own literature on the rewards of readin book
|
|
without discriminating or creating standards for something that involves
|
|
freedom, imagination and judgement.
