The Voyage Out
by Virginia Woolf novel (published 26 March 1915)
reading journal: 50 | 100 | 150 | 200 | 250 | 300 | 350 | 363
Thoughts @ page 363:
The end of this novel isn't exactly what I expected based on the intro. We are given the POVs of the hotel folk who are pretty far from grieving, the closest we get to catharsis being Hirst's return from the villa, and even he is looking to merely disengage with the emotional drain of the past fortnight. We are spared the intensity of Helen's and Terence's grief.
I assume that this is to underline the point that the death section appears to make, that Terence realizes when Rachel's death fully strikes him, that life goes on for the living. The folk of the hotel are content to offer their commentary to each other; in a spot of black comedy Arthur tries to tell the hard-of-hearing Mrs. Paley about Rachel's death. It's a brilliantly staged moment because life is indeed going on, and the indifferent Arthur's lack of pathos allows him to be amused to the point of inappropriate laughter... at least, as far as decorum is concerned. Because, well, it IS kind of funny.

Thoughts @ page 350:
This section encompasses the entirety of Rachel's illness. It is not lost on me that Woolf authored a novel where she imagines the death of her semi-autobiographical female protagonist and then examines how all the characters react to her death. Somewhere in here is an acknowledgment that existence did not begin nor end with Rachel, which is echoed in Terence's heartbreak once the shock of her passing ends:
As he saw the passage outside the room, and the table with the cups and the plates, it suddenly came over him that here was a world in which he would never see Rachel again.
There are fantastic fever dreams given from Rachel's dying perspective and apparently this is drawn from Woolf's mental breakdown. Rachel in this novel had enjoyed a procession of surreal dreams. Most of the section dealing with her illness is from Terence's POV, of course, with some asides in Hirst's as Woolf contrasts differing feelings regarding the anguish of the fatal illness.
