Essay from the year 2016 in the subject Didactics for the subject English - Literature, Works, grade: A, , course: Seminar III, language: English, abstract: Virginia Woolf’s classic modernist work, "Mrs. Dalloway", interrogates the inner–workings of every day life, exposing and unfurling the idiosyncrasies, complexities, and intimacies that are so surreptitiously ensconced within all human interaction. Though "Mrs. Dalloway" covers the span of a single day, Woolf’s treatment of time is much more complex than a linear, chronological expounding of a group of people’s activities leading up to a much anticipated soirée. Indeed, one of Woolf’s greatest strengths as a writer is her ability to unveil the significance behind every action and structure; to make meaningful many of the mechanisms and interactions which we usually deem common, menial or insubstantial. By detailing varying perceptions and probing remembrances and interpersonal linkages, Woolf demonstrates the complexity and diversity of human experience.
