Woolf Two Paragraphs

When it comes to subtly for sensitive topics, Woolf sure knows how to do it right. She writes in such a way that makes it uncontroversial, and easy to understand how differently each gender is treated. She also makes it a great way to read because she takes the gender indifference, and covers it up by using two cafeterias to explain it all, which is a great way to make it so then anyone could read it and understand how this all works. She also uses a great amount of detail when it comes to describing everything such as food or the way the room is, and that helps the reader imagine what this is all like.

First of all, description is a key thing in these passages because it really helps out comparing hwo the two genders have it, for example, the men have a more colorful meal, “The partridges, many and various, came with all their retinue of sauces and salads, the sharp and the sweet, each in its order; their potatoes, thin as coins but not so hard; their sprouts, foliated as rosebuds but more succulent.” Whilst

Woolf does an excellent job with doing so, such as making the men’s side have longer sentences than the women’s side, or having more description about the food than the other. When narrative structure is done right, it can really have an effect on the story, especially when it comes to comparing two genders, and Woolf does a spectacular job at it.

All in all, “Two Cafeterias” are a great pair of passages that really puts out how bad women had it back then when the men had more control and rights than they did. Using Narrative structure, tone, detail, Woolf took these items, mixed them together, added a hint of pepper, and made these passages which explain fully how it all felt for each side. She did a very good job at hiding her true feelings about this, and making passages that hid those feelings but still making it obvious that men had it better back
