In "Mrs. Dalloway" Woolf discovered a new literary form that expresses the new realities of postwar England.

Rupert Chawner Brooke was an English war poet who is best known for his collection of idealistic war sonnets written during the First World War and his boyish good looks‚ which prompted the Irish poet William Butler Yeats to describe him as “the handsomest young man in England”. Poets in Brooke’s time were vastly known to glorify war; however Brooke’s poetry with its patriotic mood and naive enthusiasm soon went out of fashion when the realities of war were fully understood.

As women were expected to live a humble lifestyle‚ the means of obtaining an education remained unfeasible for many women. Woolf alludes to Judith Shakespeare—a fictional character‚ to describe a woman’s plight. Judith “remained at home” with “no chance of learning” as she was conformed to “the conditions of life for a woman” (Woolf.3.4-5). Despite

Woolf tells us in the introduction to the 1928 eidtion of her book that Septimus is intended to be the double of Mrs. Dalloway. Indeed‚ she first thought that he might live while Clarissa would die. As a result‚ many critics understand his death to be a substitute for Clarissa‚ for if he dies for his war experience (especially the death of his friend) and his inablility to adjust to life‚ she is able to live‚ to adjust to the confinements of her married life. Clarissa’s meditation on Septimus’s

The Virginia Plan states that the “Legislative Executive and Judiciary powers within the several States ought to be bound by oath to support the articles of Union”. Furthermore the Virginia Plan calls for the negative on all laws of the state. Upon reading such parts of the Virginia Plan‚ one might think that the Virginia Plan gives too much power to the national government‚ limiting the individual state’s power greatly. Indeed‚ delegates against a stronger national government such as George Clinton

In “The Death of a Moth” written by Virginia Woolf in 1942‚ she correlates the life of a moth to the simplicity “true nature of life” and death. Moths are content with life while they do their duties as humans are‚ while putting up a fight. A large process of life of suffering and attempting to survive in this large process. Woolf claims that we‚ like moths‚ have such a simple and marvelous purpose in this world. We can do so much with the amount of energy we have but‚ we only do what we have

Even thus in outline against the sand there was an unmistakable vitality in them; an indescribable vigour in the
