Mrs. Dalloway (Annotated)

Virginia Woolf wrote "Mrs. Dalloway" in 1925 and printed it. Woolf is renowned for this particular work and for its narrative style of stream-of- consciousness. Here's a quick overview and analysis:
In summary:
The novel is set in London during just one day in June 1923. Clarissa Dalloway is an upper class woman whose life it follows as she prepares for a function she is hosting later on that evening. The day advances as the story investigates the thoughts as well as memories of various characters, revealing elements of their the, relationships, and lives society where they find themselves.
The plot centers around Clarissa's party preparations but also looks at Septimus Warren Spencer, a World War I veteran with shell shock (now known as PTSD). The world of Clarissa's upper class society is starkly different from his experiences and degraded psychological state.
Analysis:
The Stream-of-ConsCIousness Narrative: "Mrs. Dallow's" narrative style is characterised by a stream-of-consciousness format, and is among its most remarkable features. Woolf exposes the internal workings of her characters and effortlessly switches from one to another's ideas. The non-linear and associativ character of the human mind is reflected in this style, which captures its internal workings.
