Brief Introduction.oMrs Dalloway (published on 14 May 1925) is a novel by Virginia Woolf that details a day in the life of Clarissa Dalloway i
2、n post-World War I England. It is one of Woolfs best-known novels.oCreated from two short stories, Mrs Dalloway in Bond Street and the unfinished The Prime Minister, the novels story is of Clarissas preparations for a party of which she is to be hostess. With the interior perspective of the novel, t
3、he story travels forwards and back in time and in and out of the characters minds to construct an image of Clarissas life and of the inter-war social structure.5PPT课件Plot SummaryoClarissa Dalloway goes around London in the morning, getting ready to host a party that evening. The nice day reminds her
4、 of her youth at Bourton and makes her wonder about her choice of husband; she married the reliable Richard Dalloway instead of the enigmatic and demanding Peter Walsh and she had not the option to be with Sally Seton. Peter reintroduces these conflicts by paying a visit that morning.oSeptimus Warre
5、n Smith, a veteran of World War I suffering from deferred traumatic stress, spends his day in the park with his Italian-born wife Lucrezia, where they are observed by Peter Walsh. Septimus is visited by frequent and indecipherable hallucinations, mostly concerning his dear friend Evans who died in t
6、he war. Later that day, after he is prescribed involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital, he commits suicide by jumping out of a window.oClarissas party in the evening is a slow success. It is attended by most of the characters she has met in the book, including people from her past. She hear
7、s about Septimus suicide at the party and gradually comes to admire the act of this stranger, which she considers an effort to preserve the purity of his happiness.6PPT课件oDearest, I feel certain that I am going mad again: I feel we cant go through another of those terrible times. And I shant recover
8、 this time. I begin to hear voices, and cant concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I dont think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I cant fig
9、ht it any longer, I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I cant even write this properly. I cant read. What I want to say is that I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want t
10、o say that - everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I cant go on spoiling your life any longer. I dont think two people could have been happier than we have been. 7PPT课件8PPT课件ThemesoThe novel has two
11、main narrative lines involving two separate characters (Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Smith); within each narrative there is a particular time and place in the past that the main characters keep returning to in their minds. For Clarissa, the continuous present (Gertrude Steins phrase) of her charme
12、d youth at Bourton keeps intruding into her thoughts on this day in London. For Septimus, the continuous present of his time as a soldier during the Great War keeps intruding, especially in the form of Evans, his comrade.9PPT课件Mental illnessoSeptimus, as the shell-shocked war hero, operates as a poi
13、nted criticism of the treatment of mental illness and depression. Woolf lashes out at the medical discourse through Septimus decline and suicide; his doctors make snap judgments about his condition, talk to him mainly through his wife and dismiss his urgent confessions before he can make them. Rezia
14、 remarks that Septimus was not ill. Dr Holmes said there was nothing the matter with him.oWoolf goes beyond criticizing the treatment of mental illness. Using the characters of Clarissa and Rezia, she makes the argument that people can only interpret Septimus shell-shock according to their cultural
15、norms. Throughout the course of the novel Clarissa does not meet Septimus. Clarissas reality is vastly different from that of Septimus; his presence in London is unknown to Clarissa until his death becomes idle chat at her party. By never having these characters meet, Woolf is suggesting that mental
16、 illness can be contained to the individuals who suffer from it without others who remain unaffected ever having to witness it. 10PPT课件Mental illnessoThis allows Woolf to weave her criticism of the treatment of the mentally ill with her larger argument, which is the criticism of societys class struc
17、ture. Her use of Septimus as the stereotypically traumatized man from the war is her way of showing that there were still reminders of the First World War in 1923 London. These ripples affect Mrs. Dalloway and readers spanning generations. Shell shock or post traumatic stress disorder is an importan
18、t addition to the early 20th century canon of post-war British Literature.oThere are similarities in Septimus condition to Woolfs struggles with bipolar disorder (they both hallucinate that birds sing in Greek and Woolf once attempted to throw herself out of a window as Septimus does). Woolf eventua
19、lly committed suicide by drowning.oWoolfs original plan for her novel called for Clarissa to kill herself during her party. In this original version, Septimus (whom Woolf called Mrs. Dalloways double) did not appear at all.11PPT课件Existential issuesoWhen Peter Walsh sees a girl in the street and stal
20、ks her for half an hour, he notes that his relationship to the girl was made up, as one makes up the better part of life. By focusing on characters thoughts and perceptions, Woolf emphasizes the significance of private thoughts rather than concrete events in a persons life. Most of the plot in Mrs D
21、alloway is realizations that the characters subjectively make.oFueled by her bout of ill health, Clarissa Dalloway is emphasized as a woman who appreciates life. Her love of party-throwing comes from a desire to bring people together and create happy moments. Her charm, according to Peter Walsh who
22、loves her, is a sense of joie de vivre, always summarized by the sentence There she was. She interprets Septimus Smiths death as an act of embracing life and her mood remains light even though she hears about it in the midst of the party.12PPT课件 Feminism oAs a commentary on inter-war society, Claris
23、sas character highlights the role of women as the proverbial Angel in the House and embodies sexual and economic repression and the narcissism of bourgeois women who have never known the hunger and insecurity of working women. She keeps up with and even embraces the social expectations of the wife o
24、f a patrician politician but she is still able to express herself and find distinction in the parties she throws.oHer old friend Sally Seton, whom Clarissa admires dearly, is remembered as a great independent woman: She smoked cigars, once ran down a corridor naked to fetch her sponge-bag and made b
25、old, unladylike statements to get a reaction from people. When Clarissa meets her in the present day, she turns out to be a perfect housewife, having married a self-made rich man and given birth to five sons. 13PPT课件HomosexualityoClarissa Dalloway is strongly attracted to Sally at Bourton 34 years l
