Fashion; Narrative: A woman Under the Power of Men

Virginia Woolf

A Room of My Own

The room she is in is divided in two in the middle; the notion of her mind is represented in the other half of the room with everything being out of order when the other half is perfect, what she wants everyone think she is when she actually is not.

She is sick in her mind. Her stockings are ripped, she is wearing a perfect dress. The disordered room is her hell. She is is in the corner: she wants attention but she has been put to the corner where she is punished. She doesn't know what she wants. She is out of control–she is putting herself in the position of not being able to be in control–she has to be controlled.

She has no mind of her own anymore.
