proportioned foot of a well-grown woman” (258). This quote is symbolizing that even though the dwarf doesn’t look normal, she can still have the same normal features as a fully developed human being. Woolf is exposing the beauty based on the negative perceptions that society has on those who have some type of deformities. The dwarf having an “adult-sized” foot really gave her the boost of confidence she needed in that boot shop only because everyone else noticed as well, but as soon as the dwarf…

This difference in interpretation is not surprising because individuals, authors, perceive the world according to their own beliefs, identities and even fears. In other terms, the perception of nature can influence and be influenced by individuality. The poems “I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud” by William Wordsworth, “The Passionate Shepherd to his Love” by Christopher Marlowe, and “Dover Beach” by Matthew Arnold exemplify the…
