My feelings

In the era of war and male supremacy, the story begins on a street, a banquet, some uninvited guests...

Mrs. Dalloway is busy with the evening party, when her old lover Peter appears in front of her. His appearance disturbed her calm heart, awakened her memories of the past, and could not help feeling sad that she was now old, weak, and helpless. She had flirted with the idea of marrying Peter, who was full of passion; He is romantic, "If I had married him, such happiness would belong to me all day!" . In the end, however, she chose the pragmatic Richard and was glad she didn't marry Peter. Yes, Richard gave her a happy, smooth life as a lady

But seemingly noble, in fact, the humble, boring life of a noblewoman let her suffer. Unwilling, she tried to change, but "she couldn't think or write." "Only a superficial cultural upbringing." So "she wasted her time, luncheons, dinners, endless parties of her own." She tried to throw meaningless parties to make them understand that "all she loved was life itself."

"She has twice his intelligence but has to see things through his eyes - which is one of the tragedies of married life" because she is Mrs. Dalloway and "not even Clarissa anymore."

She's just Mrs. Dalloway clinging to Richard

Her daughter Elizabeth's closer proximity to Kilman, who was "extremely thorough in his knowledge of modern history," troubled her. Yes, she would be jealous of poor, ugly Kilman. Killman, who is so pretentious and poor that "the pleasure of eating is almost her only real pleasure, and even that does not satisfy her," wants to conquer Clarissa!

She's just Mrs. Dalloway scorned by Kilman

Her close friend Sally, who had been close enough to be in love, was reunited as Lady Rosset. "She has lost her former glory." They're done talking. Sally showed up unannounced

She's just Mrs. Dalloway without friends

She always cared about whether Peter had a critical eye to examine her, but this is just a middle-aged man who has accomplished nothing and blindly loves. This man thinks he is freely in love with a married Indian woman who has two children, and he even has to ask Richard for an introduction to his job, but looks down on others to cling to power.

She's just the humble Mrs. Dalloway

That same day, somewhere, there was someone even more pathetic than her -- Rezia. Her husband Septimus, shell-shocked by the war, did not love her but married her. "He lied to her; He seduced her "and he used marriage as a refuge. The departure of his comrades made him suffer from mental anguish, when he climbed the window and jumped, leaving the thin Italian girl who had left the country for him to mourn alone

The news of the death of this young man with whom she had no connection came from the mouth of one of the guests at her party, who could not understand why it was on the day of her party. "The young man committed suicide; But she didn't pity him."

"If you die now, you are happiest now." We don't know each other, but I find a bit of me in you
