Characters: notes on Deleuze and Modernist Novel
Keywords:
characters, modernism, event, inspiration, ImpressionismAbstract
Deleuze’s contributions reveal new dimensions in modernist literature. For many Modernist writers, what conscience can capture is less relevant than what affects the body; this conviction gives birth to the multiplication of characters difficult to classify. The essay’s first section explores the relationships between “event” and “character”; the second one traces Nietzsche’s reflections on Zarathustra; the third section is devoted to the notion of original character in Melville; the fourth section presents some of Lawrence’s ideas about characters as governed by impersonal forces; and the last section focuses on Virginia Woolf’s views of the absent character.Downloads
