Kew Gardens was written by Virginia. Virginia Woolf, who is against living Victorian style, also writes this in her works. According to the period she lived, her literature trend is modernism. She uses the style of stream of consciousness. Firstly, the title is itself important. Kew Garden is showed as a reference to The Royal Botanic Gardens in southwest London. She prefers to draw attention to the whole scene rather focus especially on theme, character, or any event in the novel. We can see some techniques of modernism like materialism, structuralism, binary opposition and intertextuality, so we can analyse the novel in terms of symbol, theme or character. In modernism, “Make it New” is significant motto. In terms of narration, alienation, they try to use non- chronological narration, fragmented narration. In Kew Gardens, there is no chronological order or narration because there is no clear beginning and no clear ending. It means that in any novel it must be exposition, rising action, climax, falling action and resolution, yet it was not used. Characters live both past and present while they are walking in the garden that impresses them, so we can observe that symbolic archetypes are portrayed. We can comment or analyse this novel with the concept of materialism. Simon and Eleanor thought the existence of spirits and ghost. Materialism rejects them and they couldn’t communicate each other in the deep level. For example, Eleanor says “Why should I mind, Simon? Doesn't one always think of the past, in a garden with men and women lying under the trees? Aren't they one's past, all that remains of it, those men and women, those ghosts lying under the trees…one's happiness, one's reality?" (Woolf, 1921). The other example is that he talks about spirits with older man

Throughout the years, human beings have developed new movements and ideas with the effects of wars, technological developments and mass changes. The beginning of modernism, which is the movement of the 20th century, is a period in which people question their place and purpose the most and that essential changes take place. Having become acquainted with colonization, capitalism, the theory of evolution, Einstein's theory of relativity and many other new concepts, mankind lost his purpose and faith with the effects of the Great War and atomic bomb. As a result of all this, man as an emotional being became a non-spiritual being. The rationality and aimlessness of modern man, especially western man, caused psychological problems and feeling lonely. Spiritual loneliness, alienation, feeling of emptiness and becoming indifference to surroundings are the basic problems of modern men. Although I am a person who believes in the power of knowledge, I can't ignore the spiritual positive effects of religions on people. On the other part of the world, people living in a way that depends on their traditions, live more moderately and conscientiously than England or other western countries. It is possible to say that the writers and poets of this period touched upon the existential crisis of modern men. In the A passage to India, besides the themes of racism and colonization, the themes of loneliness and spiritual collapse of the modern man are discussed. Marabar Caves is an excellent setting added to the novel by E. M. Forster to reflect these inner conflicts of man. Thinking as a reflection of human nature's incomprehensible sides, Caves' mysterious atmosphere makes them more complex to analyze. First of all, in the beginning of the novel, Mrs. Moore and Adela are planning to see

“War, war never changes” der karizmatik bir ses (muhtemel Ron Perlman) Fallout oyunlarının başında, hepimiz çakılıp kalırız. Savaş kötü bir şeydir çünkü, biliriz hepimiz. Savaş yok edendir, enstrümanları silahlar, piyonları da askerlerdir. Savaş hiç bir zaman değişmez midir gerçekten? Yıkıcılık, korkunçluk, anlamsızlık bakımından evet. Ama tarih ilerledikçe bir şeyler değişmiş savaşlarda. Birinci Dünya Savaşıyla (O zamanki insanların deyimiyle Büyük Savaş) yaşamla ölüm arasındaki çizgi daha da incelemiş. Askerlerin hayatı yetenekten çok tesadüflere kalmış, gelişen ölüm makineleri sayesinde. İşte Erich Maria Remarque böyle bir savaşta çarpıştıktan sonra yazmış kitabını. Kahramanı Paul gibi daha 18 'ine basmadan girmiş savaşa, onun gibi bir çok defa yaralanmış. Savaştan 10 yıl sonra çıkarmış bu kitabı. Bir yıl sonra filme çekilen kitap, büyük ün kazanmış. Ama gerek savaş, gerek milliyetçilik karşıtı bu kitap Nasyonal Sosyalist hükümet tarafından iyi karşılanmamış tabi, 1933'de yasaklanarak yakılmış. Yazar da önce İsviçre'ye sonra da Amerika'ya sığınmış. Ama İkinci Dünya Savaşı sırasında Almanya'da kalan kız kardeşi Nazi karşıtı propaganda yapma suçu gerekçesiyle idam edilmiş. Nasıl Bir İdam Mahkumunun Son Günü 'nü okuyanların idam cezası ile ilgili düşüncelerinde büyük bir değişim oluşuyorsa, bu kitap da savaş, militarizm, milliyetçilik ile ilgili görüşlerinizi tekrar gözden geçirtecek size. Zaten kitap da, 1930 yılında çekilen Oscarlı filmi de, savaş karşıtı tüm listelere ön sıralardan giriyor. Remarque hikayeyi, kahramanı Paul'un ağzından anlatıyor. Oldukça sadece ve akıcı bir anlatım bu. Tarihih en acımasız savaşlarından biri olan ve siperlerde geçen Birinci Dünya Savaşına öğretmeninin de
