Celia, you should be polite to your uncle, he has worked hard to raise you. I know you do not want to hear this from me since you detest most everything I do, especially my soup eating capabilities… but you should never talk back to your uncle.

Septimus and I had a lot in common, while I was not in the war, we both were in poor marriages. I cared deeply for my dear Dorothea but she was not content being a gentlewoman, she cared too much for my silly nephew (…or cousin… or what ever I called him) and she cared entirely… View More

While I agree with your opinions on how a woman should properly act within a home, I am not sure I agree with you feminist ideas. While I believe that a woman can do a man’s work, I do not feel that it is necessary for them to do that work. It is not in… View More

Mary, I am simply confused because it seems obvious, to me, that Mina Loy has been putting herself in negative situations resulting in finding ill suited men. This is what I believe is causing her bitterness towards men, and her”I do not want anything to do with them” attitude. If Mina Loy would simply find… View More

I agree with you whole heatedly. A women must know where the boundaries are in the life, and, often, Miss Brooke does not know where those bounds are.

I can assure you I am no such thing; great minds just think alike! I found your input to be very insightful. In a way, I suppose we are all shaped from our past, so I suppose Mrs. Dalloway would be no different. Considering this, it could be quite true that Mrs. Dalloway perfers to… View More

Rosamond! How I am glad someone can see what it is I truly love about Clarissa and Mrs. Dalloway. Since the novel does not have a clear plot, other than Clarissa’s day and the tragedy of Septimus, only one true ideal can be taken from this! A women should be the keeper of the house…. View More

While I agree with most of your argument, there is one part that I cannot bring myself to agree with you on. Perhaps that the Englishmen do not provide any sort of weapon to the Englishwomen because they feel as if it is there duty to protect the women and children of their homeland? I,… View More
