To this end, we will be using this particular assignment to create a list of themes, passages, and questions pertaining to Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway. Each student should identify at least two (2) themes, questions, or key scenes relating to Woolf’s novel in the space provided below. These can be preliminary ideas–i.e., you don’t need to have an answer to your question or to be able to fully explain your chosen theme–but they should be explained in clear and concise language. You should, however, strive to identify themes that are complex, nuanced, and open-ended.
If you identify specific scenes for discussion, try to say a bit about what makes them interesting and what you would like to analyze in them. Why does this seem like an important scene to you? What called your attention to this particular scene?
