mmmooooooooooooooooooreeeeeeeeeee craaaaaaaaaaaaapp
Through a seemingly unbiased detail of the differences in meals provided to man's and women's colleges, Woolf mockingly yet truthfully points out the lack of equality for women in society. The differences in tone range from the content elation of the first passage, detailing the men's meal, while the second passage, detailing the women's meal, features a tone of sobered vexation.
The first passage finds itself comprised almost solely of long, highly descriptive sentences; all of which compare the food to something beautiful or exquisite. "Brown spots like spots on the flank of a doe,'' is an obvious attempt to create an image of something sweet and pretty. Woolf not only gives us a beautiful image in lines such as "their sprouts, foliated as rosebuds but more succulent," but even goes so far as to assure us of the lack of this beauty by saying, "if this suggests a couple of bald, brown birds on a plate then you are mistake." Now having assured the reader that all of the food is on this level of ultimate quality, Woolf finally declares that this is a level not to be understood as average in the sentence, "to call it pudding and so relate it to rice and tapioca would be an insult."
The second passage is a nearly polar opposite of the first, right down to having blunt, concise sentences and an annoyed as well as notedly sober tone. Instead of leading into the passage with several sentences of vivacious vocabulary detailing her reason for writing as she did in her first passage, Woolf begins the second with the cold, harsh statement, "Here was my soup." Already, the tone bites with the cold ferocity of tundra winds. "The plate was plain." "Prune and custard follows." At one point, Woolf makes the sarcastic comment that "coal-miners doubtless were sitting down to less." Here we can start to see the annoyance Woolf has toward the experience. This continues to build in lines such as "it is the nature of biscuits to be dry, and these were biscuits to the core." Finally, in closing, without the glamorous, pleasing trail-off of the first passage in which "we are all going to heaven," Woolf merely states plainly and unemotionally that "The meal was over."
Comparatively. it is more than obvious that the first meal is more than preferred over the second, and thus it is obvious that the women's college cannot possibly have been treated with the respect garnered by the men.
