Virginia Woolfs novel follows a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway, an outwardly selfassured London socialite, as she prepares for her party that evening. Mrs. Dalloways interior monologue flits from preoccupation with the details of her party to memories as a young girl some thirty years ago, and to the subsequent choices she made. She reveals a private umwelt that is torn between the stultifying conventional existence she has chosen to lead and what might have been had she accepted the marriage proposal of bohemian Peter Walsh. On the same day in another part of London and unknown to Mrs. Dalloway until near the end of her party is one Septimus Warren Smith, a shellshocked casualty of the Great War from a class far below hers. Smiths reality is, sadly, more internal than external and the thoughts that beset him on this sunny June day in 1923 are dark and foreboding. Woolf is here very likely drawing on her own mental breakdowns when portraying Smiths fractured world. The inner ruminations of these and other characters in Mrs. Dalloway underline just how little of ourselves most of us allow to be exposed.
