Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mrs Dalloway is a 1925 novel by English author Virginia Woolf, part of the Modernist movement, and one of her most famous works. It is also considered an important work of early feminist literature, due to its sympathetic portrayals of complex, free-thinking, and independent women and its exploration of the social forces that act upon them.Set over the course of a single June day in London, the novel centres on upper-class Clarissa Dalloway's preparations for an evening party. The abrupt reappearance from India of her Old Flame Peter Walsh, however, triggers a deep and uncomfortable reappraisal of her life.A film adaptation was made in 1997, directed by Marleen Gorris and starring Vanessa Redgrave.

Big Fancy House: This being a novel largely about the British upper and upper-middle classes in the early 20th century, there are a few of them.

Arc Words: "The leaden circles dissolved in the air", indicating Big Ben's marking of the hours as the day passes by. The passage of time and the irrevocable nature of the past are major themes of the novel. "Fear no more the heat o' the sun", a line from the Shakespeare play Cymbeline, also appears in a number of contexts throughout the novel.

A case could also be made for Ambiguously Bi, given his pre-war infatuation with Miss Isabel Pole.

comment
Ambiguously Gay: Septimus was very close with his fallen comrade, has a loveless marriage that he only agreed to out of fear that he could no longer feel emotions, and tries to confess a crime, which could be homosexuality given that it was a crime at the time the book was written. A case could also be made for Ambiguously Bi, given his pre-war infatuation with Miss Isabel Pole.
