Mrs. Dalloway (collected Works of Woolf)
About This Novel
"Mrs. Dalloway" describes the daily activities of a parliamentarian's wife. The book takes the protagonist as the core and her birthday dinner as the pivot, highlighting two completely different models: Bradshaw, the "great doctor" who represents the upper class and customary forces, and Smith, who was born as a commoner. Readers can appreciate the various characteristics of typical stream-of-consciousness novels, and its artistic skill of "writing a woman's life in one day" vividly demonstrates the uniqueness of this work. It also tells people that stream-of-consciousness novels are not just innovations in artistic techniques, they can also have profound ideological and social significance.

Can't empathize
You can only choose one kind of life, you can't have both. Even if it is dull and lonely, at least the flowers you bought today are fresh.
Not aware of it
I don't quite understand stream of consciousness novels😙
It's very to my liking, especially the metaphorical expression of the character's feelings that comes with the description of the character's dynamic consciousness. It really feels beautiful. Some of the sentences give people the feeling that they are not only poetic but also philosophical. Also, the author is just trying his best to describe each character and the relationship between them, with almost no critical tendency. I appreciate this very much.
