The Anatomy of the Human Mind – The Cultural Consciousness and the Existential Consciousness Inherent in the Human Brain

Abstract

Survival and Identity are intertwined gestures of human existence. Being the most important stratum of consciousness or existential struggle, survival and identity crisis, delves within the structures of a constructed mind of the human being. A human being is very much constructed through the realms of the societal and the cultural standards and the consciousness of a human being is decided by the way the being reacts to certain situations in life. Through the characters of Woolf, the survival and identity of the human beings with reference to post feminism and existential feminism, is dealt with precision, as to bring in the ideologies of balance in absurdity, existence in wilderness and intelligence through power, eliminating the power struggle. The anatomy of the human brain is sought to understand the dearth of the human mind and the existing structures of the same. Behavioural psychology, being the intended philosophy, the societal struggle to live and the behaviour changes are expressed through the characters in the novels taken for consideration.
