Celia Brooke: She also stands for a superficial woman, but more submissive and less manipulative than Roseland. She marries Sir James Cheetah. Edward Cubans: He represents the vain and hypocrite man that pretends to be cult and devote but that only expects in a woman a servant. Will Ladies: He represents a romantic person, as he is an idealist, independent and a true outsider that doesn’t want to belong to a determinate place but to amuse himself with the beauty of the world.
Terries Legate: He represents the outsider, the progress, the independence and the interest in helping other people.

Peter Featheriness: He represents the greedy or money and the manipulation Caleb Garth: He represents the blind trust and, ultimately, the reward of being a good man.
John Raffles: He represents that things always come back at you. Karma is a bitchy. Time and story context: Provincial life (money and others opinions are what matter and women are supposed to be submissive) Narrator: Although there is an omnipresent narrator in the novel in charge to present the characters and their personalities, is more important the construction of stories and characters trough the gossips, as that was the prevalent way of someone’s image in the provincial life.
Conclusion: There are three conclusions that can be taken from the novel and those are love, freedom and independence. For the first one, Throated finds in love (to knowledge and to Ladies) the true way of find happiness although it might not seem the right thing to do according to the beliefs of that time. For the second conclusion, woman’s freedom is important for life as in imagination, thought and action.
And the third one, the independence is crucial, as the money doesn’t represent happiness or satisfaction and, on the contrail, can bring more problems than solutions. The Waves Virginia Wolf Structure: The book is divided in nine chapters distinguished between them through lyrical prefaces that express the moving picture of a beach in different moments of a day. Every preface works as an allegory of the content of the chapter, as they represent the life of a person from his/her childhood (the sunrise) to his/her death (the sunset).
Narrators: Although the novel works with six voices at first, it’s shown at the end that the narrator of most of the story is Bernard, who has not only the ability to tell stories, but also who knows everyone’s life and behavior as he’s extremely observer of people he cares about. The tone is particularly personal as most of the speech is constructed of thoughts and feelings, more than of dialogues, reason why the novel becomes so poetic and complex, as the characterization is made, not through others presentation, but implied through their thoughts and behaviors.
This tone, also, provides an ethereal sense in the reading, as the reader becomes the only omniscient part of the novel. Plot: Human evolution by the ages of the characters. The life of a group f friends composed by their individual experiences and the moments they spend together. Correction: There is no particular time or space in the novel although some places of England are mentioned, either rural or urban locations.
These locations represent the locus anemones and the locus terrible depending on the characters that talks about it. This represents the multiplicity of thoughts and feelings of each human being as a way of individualism. Also, the traveling becomes important for the characters, as a representation of continuous changes through humanity along ages and spaces. Conclusion: There are two main conclusions in the novel for social and individual constrains about life problems.
One of them is the imagination, as the characters are able to surpass their problems or escape from them through the invention of other stories and new possibilities. The other conclusion is death, as Rhoda and Bernard find in death the true escape to their individual problems caused by their different attitude to live. Death functions as a kind of reality principle in the novel, reminding the characters that their time is not limitless-?death is the “enemy” hat Bernard sees facing them all by the end.
Five of the six characters, in some way or other, make a commitment to life in the face of death: Unveiled and Louis through art, Susan through the natural world, Jinni through her own physicality, and Bernard through language. Rhoda is the only one who does not commit to life. Bernard is at one pole of the awareness of death, vowing to fight for consciousness and meaning until the end, while Rhoda is at the other, surrendering at last to the pull of oblivion and joining the world of inanimate things.
