Mrs. Garth I do believe you are quite mistaken. The albatross knows quite a lot about human nature if you ask me. It is the albatross who was killed by the hands of a man and required to be hung from a mans neck. The albatross knows exactly what kind of a creature man is… View More

It is true that Septimus has suffered greatly from the war. He does not deserve such a negative response after completing his duty to his country but alas all soldiers have to lose a piece of themselves to become truly great men. The loss of ones ability to hold reality in their mind is a… View More

I am always a fan of blood and death but I have to say that Septimus death was an unfortunate turn of events. While I like the fact his own madness drove him over the edge it is also quite sad considering how he was a suffering warrior. Warriors have a special place in my…heart…. View More

Oh dear Albatross, there is much that you cannot understand about human nature, therefore, I would not even expect you to understand anything about women and their perplexing actions!  Especially a woman like Mrs. Dalloway.  She is very complex if you hadn’t noticed.  Beautifully composed yet a bit frenzied on the inside, especially when it… View More

Nature, I do not pity Miss Kilman as much as I pity Septimus Smith.  She seems like a terrible woman!  Oh how negative and poisonous she was to the young mind of Elizabeth.  Elizabeth was right to pull away from her!  I would have done the same.  It seemed that all the woman desired to… View More

Poor Mrs. Dalloway! This poor woman had everything she could have ever wanted in life, then Peter sweeps in, seemingly, just to confuse her. I hope Mrs. Dalloway is able to focus on her own life, and is not swept up in Peter’s world. Richard has provided a wonderful life that any woman could have… View More

That Leopold Blum is one disgusting character. And the writer had to be just as crazy as his character. To write about someone enjoying the taste of urine is truly repulsive. I did not like the style of writing in Ulysses either. It was all over the place and hard to keep track of. I… View More
