Hello, I am looking for someone to write an article on Virginia Woolfs Mrs. Dalloway. It needs to be at least 1500 words. She fragments her attention from Clarissa to Septimus, to Walsh to Mrs. Kilman, and other characters to depict their personalities. Through their interactions, Woolf highlights the differences and resemblances of the characters. Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway significantly highlights the theme of self-identity and individuality.

The protagonist, Clarissa searches for her lost identity. Her agonizing loneliness arises from the fact that she is sexually repressed and her actions are confined to societal norms. According to Woolf, she has “the oddest sense of being herself invisible. unseen. unknown” (14). Clarissa’s agony is because she is not free to enjoy her existence as an individual. She does not think she belongs to the society. “She belonged to a different age, but being so entire, so complete, would always stand up on the horizon, stone-white, eminent, like a lighthouse marking some past stage on this adventurous, long, long voyage, this interminable — this interminable life” (Woolf). Although she is beautiful and intelligent, another missing factor troubles her life. She engages in what she terms ‘a religious ceremony’ when she marries Richard, in order to conform to societal norms that require marriage between a man and woman. Hoff says, “Marriage is a ritual of the initiation variety that entails a death and rebirth with a new identity and a name change” (Hoff 35). Her marriage provided a new identity. This is despite the fact that she is sexually unfeeling to men, and the restraints of decency make her unable to realize her love for Sally entirely (Hjersing 1). She rummages through the different relationship prospects, Richard and Sally, in search of her individuality and identity. In the end, she resigns to organizing parties in order to assert her social prominence and recreate her self-identity. As she looks at herself&nbsp.in the mirror, she sees different images of herself: a host, a woman, and the self.&nbsp.
