questions of women’s subjugation and advocates that women should fight for their right in her works.
Woolf suffered her first major breakdown on the death of her father in 1904. Afterwards, she moved with her brother Thoby and sister Vanessa to London, where they joined in Bloomsbury. They gathered writers, artists and educators and so on, including the critic Lytton Strachey, the art critics Clive Bell and Roger Fry and the economist John Maynard to e*change ideas and thoughts. In Bloomsbury, Woolf met her future husband Leonard Woolf. Together they two set up the Hogarth Press in 1917, the famous publishing house. It was his constant devotion and care, during her regular bouts of mental illness, encouraged Woolf to write in the calm periods. Her first two novels, Voyage out (1915) and Night and Day (1919) were fairly conventional, but Jacob’s Room, which appeared in 1922, launched her as a highly innovative writer. Her modernist approach of using the interior monologue, or stream of consciousness, and poetic symbolism, with the emphasis on character as opposed to plot, was developed further in her later novels: Mrs. Dalloway (1925), To the Lighthouse (1927) and Orlando (1928), and the book-length essay a room of one’s own (1929). She used a technique called “stream of consciousness”, revealing the lives of her characters by revealing their thoughts and associations. On 28 March 1941, Woolf put on her overcoat, filled its pockets with stones, and walked into the River near her home and drowned herself.

She remembers the precious scenes when she and Peter were in love and how they broke down; she recalls her best girl friend Sally and her feeling of love to Sally. When she now reflects her marriage, She suddenly feels something deep inside is losing in daily life’s corruption, chatting and lies. She lost the real right to e*perience the essential significance of life. At the same time, she worries about her daughter Elizabeth, she is afraid that her daughter would be controlled by her tutor Kilman, according Kilman’s behaviors to Elizabeth.
Another plot is the description of Septimus and his wife Rezia. Septimus is a retired army man who has e*perienced the First World War, and suffers mental disease. He always reminds of his comrade-in-arms and talking about death. He wants to escape doctors’ persecution but failed and suicide himself. When Clarissa knew his death, she told to herself that Septimus gets pure happiness.
1.3 Literature review
Mrs. Dalloway is one of Woolf’s most popular works. She once in her dairy talked about the themes and social meanings that there are so many themes she would like to talk about. She wants to describe live and death, sense and crazy, she wants to criticize the social systems, revealing its essential and so on.
