Summary "Mrs. Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in post-World War I London, the story unfolds over a single day in June, exploring themes of identity, time, and mental health through the eyes of its protagonist, Clarissa Dalloway, as she prepares for an evening party. The narrative weaves together her memories, her relationships, and her existential reflections, creating a profound exploration of life and the passage of time. The opening of "Mrs. Dalloway" introduces us to Clarissa Dalloway, who decides to buy flowers for a party she is hosting later that evening. As she walks through London, she reflects on her past, her relationships, and her experiences, particularly with Peter Walsh, a former lover. The narrative elegantly captures her emotions and thoughts mingling with the bustling life of the city around her. Meanwhile, we are also introduced to Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran struggling with the aftermath of combat and grappling with his mental health, hinting at the interconnected fates of the characters. The juxtaposition of these two lives paints a rich tapestry of societal dynamics, personal struggles, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world.
