Wise nature, oh you!
Brilliant, brilliant interpretations. I cannot help but agree! When Miss. Kilman first came into the story, you know, I felt sorry for her. Her negative thoughts and judgements of our Dear Dalloway tore me away from her. But it was also … say, human, to have such thoughts, such misunderstandings of one another… (An evolved excerpt from Pride and Prejudice, say).
But really, by Jove, her thoughts were so decidedly and unapologetically harsh towards Mrs. Dalloway who did not but merely laugh. I got the understanding that Miss Kilman was of a lower class, I do believe it was mentioned… but how is it that Elizabeth was wandering or let alone spending time with Kilman? Perhaps their ranks aren’t so difference and I have misunderstood. I was not sure how one came into contact with the other.
As for what you have said of Septimus, — Bravo!
I have enjoyed how you’ve included how Setpimus’ mental state is an attempt to make sense of the incomprehensible. How true, by Jove! Well, who does not ask for some clarity while reading this book…? I know I began reading it and searching for answers. I am not searching anymore.
I like what you said, that he recognizes the beauty of the earth but not of human nature. I believe his experiences (the War) have made him believe there is no human nature left! No humanity left. What if in place of the doctors, he believed the enemy was after him?
I do not know exactly, but how very sad indeed.
