| المستخلص: | Adeline virginia Woolf (1882-1941) is a major twentieth century English novelist and essayist; and a key figure, in literary history, as a feminist and a modernist. Woolfs writings convey a strong sense of her own conceptualization of the relationship between self and other, indicating that individuals remain unknowable to one another, and that to each individual there always remains something private. Woolf sees the self as a singular, private phenomenon, something deep, elusive, and solitary, removed from others. woolf's third novel, Jacob's Room, composed in the years just after World War I and published in 1922, illustrates her understanding of the self's alienation from others. The present study deals with Woolfs project in Jacob’s Room, exploring her portrayal of the interpersonal relations between self and other, and her concern with how selves elude one another, and remain essentially unknowable to each other. Jacob Flanders, the protagonist of the novel, is an elusive identity; a young man whose life is abruptly ended by the war, and we learn about him primarily through other people’s opinions, mainly the narrator outlook, his mother Betty Flanders, his acquaintances, and the women he loves. Jacob emerges, in his novel, as a ghostly figure, and passes away, like a shadow, without the reader gaining an understanding of who he is. He remains unfinalizable, resisting others attempts to sum up him because there is always something within any individual, which evades another's understanding. It is this ‘unseizable force, which others can never know. |
