Important quotations
  1. "For Heaven only knows why one loves it so, how one sees it so, making it up, building it round one, tumbling it, creating it every moment afresh; but the verriest frumps, the most dejected of miseries sitting on doorsteps (drink their downfall) do the same; can’t be dealt with, she felt positive, by Acts of Parliament for that very reason: they love life"
    1. All classes of people can be happy
      1. Richard disagrees

        Anmerkungen:

        1. Businness of life, privacy inside mind
          1. Repetition

            Anmerkungen:

            • "out, out, far out" = incomprehensible distances, unreachable, cries for help "very, very dangerous"  = extreme danger contradicts most peoples idea, as simply living
          2. "This late age of the world’s experience had bred in them all, all men and women, a well of tears. Tears and sorrows; courage and endurance; a perfectly upright and stoical bearing."

                  1. Rezia
                    1. Septimus

                      Anmerkungen:

                      • Only character to cry openly in park, and therefore seen as mentally unstable
                    2. The English's "stiff upper lip"

                      Anmerkungen:

                      • Septimus considered unstable because of crying; not expected in English society. Peter scolds himself for crying afterwards for a long time
                    3. "Clarissa had a theory in those days . . . that since our apparitions, the part of us which appears, are so momentary compared with the other, the unseen part of us, which spreads wide, the unseen might survive, be recovered somehow attached to this person or that, or even haunting certain places after death . . . perhaps—perhaps."
                      1. Supported by structure of novel

                        Anmerkungen:

                        • Very little is based on what the characters do; all about their inner thoughts
                        1. Interconnectedness of characters

                        2. "She felt somehow very like him—the young man who had killed himself. She felt glad that he had done it; thrown it away. The clock was striking. The leaden circles dissolved in the air. He made her feel the beauty; made her feel the fun. But she must go back. She must assemble"
                          1. CLIMAX; narratives finally meet

                            Anmerkungen:

                            • Septimus has been reflecting Clarissa throughout novel. Clarissa started the day by plunging into the June day, and Septimus literally plunged to his death
