"Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf follows Clarissa Dalloway as she prepares for a lavish party in post-World War I London. The narrative weaves through her memories and perceptions, exploring themes of time, mental illness, and societal expectations. As she reflects on her past choices and encounters, the story intertwines with the experiences of Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran grappling with trauma. Woolf’s stream-of-consciousness style illuminates the characters' inner lives and highlights the connection between individual experiences and the broader context of society. The novel ultimately captures the fleeting nature of life and the complexity of human connection. [Generated by language model - please report any problems].
