Analysis of the New Dress

The New Dress | Analysis From the very beginning of the story, we can see that Mabel is intensely aware of her surroundings- the setting, the people, what they are wearing, and so forth. This adds to her insecurity, as her self-esteem immediately drops when she realizes that her dress does not fit in with what the others are wearing. Their clothes are more exquisite, something which she cannot afford. It is interesting to note that she often thinks about her dress and her life and personality in parallel. After commenting about how shabby and downy she looks compared to others, she thinks about her status as “a weak mother” and a wife. She seems to link these two things- the supposed dullness of her dress with the dullness of her personality. This leads us to a possible indirect comparison made by Woolf. Rather, we may say that Mabel’s new yellow dress symbolizes her personality. While the dress was being fitted by Miss Millan, Mabel was overflowing with joy and excitement. She felt unique and special and was excited to receive the final product. This is in relation to the color of the dress, as yellow often signifies brightness and happiness. However, when Mabel attends the party, her confidence drops. She feels like all eyes are on her and everybody is mocking her poverty. This is symbolized by the fact that the dress is different from everybody else’s. It is also important to think about how much of the scenario was simply in Mabel’s mind- did Rose really mock her? Was Robert Haydon’s hastiness because of her dress or out of the surprise of her words? This entire story focuses on Mabel’s innermost feelings, hence we as readers view everything from a biased lens. We see the party and interaction through Mabel’s mind, rather than objectively. This fact highlights how much one’s insecurities and fears can influence the reality of a situation. It is possible that while everyone in the party was dressed better, nobody truly paid Mabel’s dress much heed. However, due to Mabel’s high guard, it felt like they did. This is brought to life by Woolf’s analogy between the party-goers and flies. Mabel describes herself as a “fly on the wall”, which is a metaphorical explanation of feeling like an outsider looking in. This brings in the theme of social isolation and loneliness. Mabel feels lonely because she cannot fit in – rather than mingling with the crowd, she feels more comfortable watching from the dark shadows in the sidelines. She likens herself to an ordinary housefly, which implies the inferior way she views herself, and compares the other, more extravagant members as beautiful dragonflies and butterflies. Here, we see the theme of wealth and class difference. The extraordinariness of dragonflies and butterflies in comparison to the housefly symbolizes the visible difference between the rich and poor, suggesting that a housefly like Mabel cannot possibly mingle with the likes of the higher class- after all, she even looks different. When Mabel thinks about her past, the readers may understand that the insecurities have been present for a long time, but only came to fruition in such social situations. She blames the poverty of her upbringing for the current situation and feels envious of others such as Rose. Her constant frustrated remarks seem to be for two purposes- one is to make it clear to those around her that she does not find her dress pretty, for she does not want them to question her taste. The other may be to hear some positive words and reassurances. Though she gets such reassurance, she views it through a guarded lens, and hence it comes across insincere- this only makes her confidence drop lower. We see her mind flashing between Miss Millan’s workroom and the party. The difference between Mabel’s attitude while in her comfort zone and when she’s in an unfamiliar social gathering is evident. In the workroom, she was flowing with self-love and confidence, which disappears in the presence of others. Here, we see an important element which Mabel addresses herself: getting affected by the opinions of others. Mabel is far too wary of what others may think of her, which is what diminishes her earlier confidence. We see a conflict between two sides of Mabel’s personality- one who wishes to start afresh and be stronger and happier, and the other who is limited by the unease she feels in the presence of wealthier people. Mabel leaving the party early, wearing her cloak of twenty years, could provide a ray of hope. She waves off Rose and Charles as she leaves, the first act of nonchalance we see from her. It is also important to note that people often vie for invitations to social gatherings, especially of the wealthy, yet she is leaving early despite receiving a direct invitation. We may see it as a subtle act of individuality and courage, a flash of self-realization that she does not have to put herself through uncomfortable situations for the sake of reputation. She is breaking away from others’ opinions and views of her and finally acting for herself. Further, the fact that she is wearing her old cloak, the same as usual, may symbolize that certain things cannot change so easily. This is her life, and it is up to her to make the best of it.

The New Dress

Summary of The New Dress Introduction “The New Dress” is Virginia Woolf’s short story about Mabel Waring, who attends a social gathering wearing a new yellow dress.  The writer’s technique of stream of consciousness allows us to peep into Mabel’s mind and follow her chain of thoughts. Mabel is wearing a yellow dress that she designed with her dressmaker specifically for this particular occasion. She has taken an image from an old fashion magazine from Paris and has spent countless hours with her dressmaker attempting to get the design just perfect for this social gathering, where she wishes to make an image of perfection of herself.  to the Party On receiving an invitation from Mrs. Clarissa Dalloway, Mabel prepares to attend the party. She spends hours with the dressmaker to choose a dress. After much thought and elaborate discussion, she decides on a yellow dress. But as soon as she enters the party, a sense of self-doubt takes such a strong grip over her mind that she keeps wondering whether or not she looks good enough. The Beginning of the Doubt Mabel believes that to be fashionable in London society requires a good fortune. She believes she can never be fashionable. As soon as she enters Mrs Dalloway’s house, she meets Mrs. Barnet. Mabel interprets the look on her face to be a look of disapproval of Mabel’s dress. Her confidence is shaken and on being greeted by the host of the party, Mabel grows more suspicious of her decision of wearing that dress. A final look into the mirror confirms that Mabel looks unfashionable and that her dress is not appropriate. Mabel’s Past Life Worrying so much over a dress seems a trivial matter until we get a peep into Mabel’s mind. Her thoughts reveal that her past life has not been easy. Mabel’s lack of confidence and her excessive self consciousness begin to make sense when we get to know the kind of childhood she had. Money had always been scarce in her childhood and her family had struggled to make the two ends meet. A series of misfortune had aggravated the troubles of her poor family. Due to this, Mabel had never had an access to the high fashion of the society. Mabel’s married life had not made things any better and she lives in a small house with her husband Hubert and their two kids. They have no maids and can only afford bare minimum food. The Cause of Mabel’s Insecurities Mabel’s modest family background explains the sense of inferiority that constantly troubles her. However, she remains aware of the fact that the opinions of others or their approval should not be a matter of her concern. Despite knowing that she lacks conviction, she fails to free herself from the inferiority complex. This is because she has deeply ingrained the class differences that mark certain people as superior to others. She nevertheless tries hard to fit in into the high fashion society of Mrs Dalloway, but fails miserably. The Fly in the Saucer Mabel likens her condition to that of a fly trapped in a saucer. As much as she detests this image, it is stuck in her mind. She remembers having read it somewhere and the image of a fly trying to crawl over the edge of a saucer now seems like her own situation. Due to a lack of self-worth, she pictures herself as a poor, miserable fly while the other people at the party seem to her to be dragonflies, butterflies or beautiful insects. Mabel is so consumed by her insecurities that she sees herself as inferior to everyone. Mabel’s Need for Validation Dressed in her pale yellow silk dress, Mabel grows highly unsure and begins to suspect that people are mocking at her. She therefore initiates conversations with some people in hopes of getting a compliment or validation. Her anxieties are further heightened by guests like Charles Burt. Rose Shaw’s words of praise seem pretence to Mabel. All praise seems mere pretence to her. Every compliment she receives is dismissed by her as merely an act of politeness. Seeing Charles Burt and Rose Shaw engaged in a conversation, Mabel assumes they are making fun of her yellow dress. She is further disconcerted by Mrs Holman who approaches her but talks only of her children’s ailments. The Yellow Dot Seated uneasily on a blue sofa, Mabel sees her reflection in a mirror. She sees herself as a yellow dot. This is the result of a complete absence of regard for herself and her worth, that makes her see herself reduced to mere dot. Her diminshed reflection in the mirror symbolises the incompetent and worthless person that Mabel has reduced herself to. By constantly overthinking and doubting, she has begun to consider herself inferior to others like Rose Shaw or Mrs. Dalloway. She believes that she is an unsatisfactory mother and a wobbly wife. Mabel’s Resolution After a chain of conflicted thoughts trouble her during the party, she resolves to be a changed person and transform her life for better. But very soon, the determination fades away. Wrapped in her old Chinese cloak, Mabel Waring leaves the party early. Conclusion Mabel’s insecurities stem as much from her self-conscious thoughts as from her low social standing. She constantly feels out of place during parties but keeps attempting to fit in. She leads an unsatisfactory life at home and considers herself worthless. This is a woman trapped in the modern dilemma of identity. She dwells so much on her dress and cares too much for the opinions of others about herself. Thus, Mabel Waring is an unfortunate figure who is the victim of her obsessive thoughts. She desperately tries to elevate herself to the social standing of the high class but fails. She is an alienated, lonely figure who is a victim of her own thoughts and of the class differences that she tries to efface.

Dr. Watson describes Mary as very young attractive woman with a deep, rich-toned voice, graceful, well-gloved lady. who is impeccably dressed in a sober, greyish, pale plain and simple  dress with a dull turban that has a white feather on the side which suggests that she is a woman of limited means. Her aspects of face are not regular and her complexion is not bright, but her expression is sweet and friendly and her large blue eyes are remarkably spiritual and sympathetic. Dr. Watson even describes her emotional state of mind as agitated, because he witnesses her lip tremble and her hand quiver as she takes her seat. Dr. Watson finds Mary is not feeling uneasy about her strange situation, but she displays perfect self-control driving to the Lyceum Theatre. 2] Sherlock Holmes is the leading character in the extract. Explain. Ans: The main character in the novel is the private detective, Sherlock Holmes. He is presented through the viewpoint of his friend, Dr John Watson, the narrator of the story. At the beginning of the extract, Miss Mary Morstan comes to meet Sherlock Holmes with a case.

This helps the reader understand Holmes’ importance in the extract, It shows, Holmes is the leading character in the extract. 3] Dr. Watson, the narrator, is one of the major characters in the novel.

He is a doctor by profession whose insightful narration helps the readers experience the story through his eyes. He is the second-most important character in the story, after Holmes.

Summary of the Novel The Sign of the Four begins at the Baker Street home of the infamous detective, Sherlock Holmes, and his assistant, Dr. John Watson. Holmes is a little bored, having no case to work on, and is injecting himself with cocaine—Watson disapproves of this bad habit.  Soon enough, the beautiful Miss Mary Morstan arrives at the flat asking for Holmes’ help. She outlines her case. Her father, Captain Morstan, had been an officer in the British Army and was stationed in India; she was at boarding school in Scotland. Ten years ago, he came back on leave, but as soon as he arrived in London he disappeared without a trace. A few years ago, she started receiving pearls in the mail once a year after answering an advert in the paper calling for her address. The pearl she has recently received came with a note, instructing her to go to the Lyceum Theater in London’s West End that evening, where somebody will come to meet her. Holmes and Watson agree to accompany her. Throughout Miss Morstan’s story, Watson can’t help but admire her. Later that evening, Holmes, Watson and Miss Morstan head to the meeting point. On their way, Miss Morstan shows Holmes a paper she found in her father’s desk. It appears to be a map, with a red cross drawn on it. Beside the cross, the paper reads: “the sign of the four – Jonathan Small, Mahomet Singh, Abdullah Khan, Dost Akbar.” At the Lyceum Theater a carriage is waiting for them and takes them to the house of the anxious Thaddeus Sholto, the son of Major Sholto, who was Captain Morstan’s friend and colleague in India. Thaddeus explains that Captain Morstan is dead; he died from a heart attack when arguing with Major Sholto about the Agra treasure. Thaddeus explains that this treasure, part of which he says is rightfully is Miss Morstan’s, is an immense collection of jewels. His father fell ill a few years previously after receiving a letter from India that caused him a great shock. Thaddeus notes that his father had a fear of men with wooden legs. On his deathbed, Major Sholto was about to reveal the location of the Agra treasure when a bearded man appeared at the window; the shock killed Major Sholto. The next day, Thaddeus and his brother, Bartholomew, discovered that Sholto’s belongings had been searched and a note reading “the sign of the four” was left on the body. Just before he died, Major Sholto instructed his sons to share some

Around the World In Eighty Days

Summary of Around the World in Eighty Days Chapter XXXIV (In which Phileas Fogg at last reaches London)              Phileas Fogg was in prison. He had been shut up in the Custom House, and he was to be transferred (taken away) to London the next day.               Passepartout, when he saw his master arrested, would have fallen upon (attack) Fix, had he not been held back (caught) by some policemen. Aouda (औडा) was thunderstruck (astonished / हक्का-बक्का हुआ) at the suddenness  of  an  event  which she  could  not  understand.  Passepartout explained to her how it was that the honest and courageous Fogg was arrested as a robber.  The young woman’s heart revolted (disgusted) against so heinous (evil/ bad) a charge, and when she saw that she could attempt to do nothing to save her protector, she wept bitterly(extremely/फूट फूट कर).           As for Fix, he had arrested Mr. Fogg because it was his duty, whether Mr. Fogg was guilty or not.            The thought then struck (felt) Passepartout, that   he   was   the cause of this new misfortune (calamity)! Had he not concealed (kept secret) Fix’s errand (intention) from his master? When Fix revealed his true character and purpose, why had he not told Mr. Fogg? If the latter had been warned, he would no doubt have given Fix proof of his  innocence, and satisfied him of his mistake; at least, Fix would not have continued his journey at the expense and on the heels of his master, only to arrest him the moment he set foot on English soil. Passepartout wept till he was blind, and felt like blowing his brains out.             Aouda and he had remained, despite the cold, under the portico of the Custom House. Neither wished to leave the place; both were anxious (eager) to see Mr. Fogg again.         That  gentleman  was  really  ruined, and  that  at  the  moment  when  he  was about  to  attain (achieve)  his  end.  This arrest was fatal.  Having  arrived  at  Liverpool  at twenty minutes before twelve on the 21st of December, he had till a quarter before nine  that  evening  to  reach  the  Reform Club,  that  is,  nine  hours  and  a  quarter; the  journey  from  Liverpool  to  London was six hours.            If   anyone,   at   this   moment,   had entered   the   Custom   House,   he   would have found Mr. Fogg seated, motionless, calm, and without apparent anger, upon a wooden bench.  He  was  not,  it  is  true, resigned; but this last blow failed to force him  into  an  outward (express) betrayal  of  any emotion. Was he being devoured by one of those secret rages (violent anger), all the more terrible because contained, and which only burst forth, with an irresistible force, at the last moment? No one could tell. There he sat, calmly waiting—for what?  Did he still cherish (kept)  hope?  Did  he  still  believe,  now that  the  door  of  this  prison  was  closed upon him, that he would succeed?          However  that  may  have  been,  Mr. Fogg  carefully  put  his  watch  upon  the table, and observed its advancing hands (of the watch). Not  a  word  escaped  his  lips,  but  his look  was  singularly  set  and  stern.  The situation, in any event, was a terrible one, and might be thus stated: if Phileas Fogg was honest  he  was  ruined;  if  he  was  a knave (rascal), he was caught.           Did escape occur to  him?  Did he examine to see if there was any practicable outlet from his prison?  Did he think of escaping from  it?  Possibly; for once  he walked slowly around the room. But the door was locked, and the window heavily barred with iron rods. He sat down again, and drew his journal (diary) from his pocket. On the line where these words were written, “21st December, Saturday, Liverpool,” he  added,  “80th  day,  11.40  a.m.,”  and waited.             The Custom House clock struck one. Mr. Fogg observed that his watch  was two hours too fast (ahead).             Two hours! Admitting that he was at this moment taking an  express  train,  he could reach London and the Reform Club by (8.45) a quarter before nine p.m. his forehead slightly wrinkled (folds).            At  thirty-three  minutes  past  two (2.33)  he heard  a  singular (strange) noise  outside,  then  a hasty  opening  of  doors.  Passepartout’s voice was audible, and immediately after that of Fix. Phileas Fogg’s eyes brightened for an instant.           The door swung  open,  and  he  saw Passepartout,   Aouda,    and  Fix,  who hurried towards him.             Fix was out  of  breath,  and  his  hair was in disorder. He could not speak. “Sir,” he   stammered,   “Sir-forgive   me-most- unfortunate resemblance-robber arrested three days ago-you are free!”             Phileas Fogg was free! He walked to the detective, looked him steadily in the face, and with the only rapid motion he had ever made in his life, or which he ever would make, drew back his arms, and with the precision of a machine, knocked Fix down.   “Well hit!” cried Passepartout, “Parbleu! (French expression, great) that’s  what  you  might  call  a good application (use) of English fists!”(मुट्ठी)             Fix,   who   found   himself   on   the floor, did not utter a word. He had only received his desserts. Mr. Fogg, Aouda, and Passepartout left the Custom House without delay, got into a cab, and in a few moments descended at the station.             Phileas Fogg asked if there was an express train about to leave for London. It was forty minutes past two. (2.40) The express train had left thirty-five minutes before. Phileas Fogg then ordered a special train.             There were several rapid locomotives (rail engine) on hand; but  the  railway  arrangements (officers) did not permit the  special  train  to  leave until three o’clock.          At that hour Phileas Fogg, having stimulated (motivate) the engineer by the offer of a generous reward, at last set out towards London   with   Aouda   and   his   faithful servant.           It was necessary to make
