Thank you so much for this abridged version. I myself read the book and couldn't understand most of the things. But the visuals and the voice, the pauses they were truly beyond praiseworthy. Thank you so much. ❤
This book is mesmerizing. As the hours go by and the city of London functions as a multicellular organism, the reader is taken to discover the worlds that take place within every single character. It is like each soul here hides a whole different novel inside. Virginia's style of writing is enchanting, captivating and very poetic. In addition, the themes that she's not afraid to present are full way ahead of their time. I mean, in this book we can read about love between women, about men fragility and sensibility, about mental health and suicide...everything treated with a delicate touch but without any kind of hesitation! For me, Mrs Dalloway is a real masterpiece 🙌
Is it just me or this book was extremely difficult to follow? I read it in Spanish, so the translation might have made the experience even more difficult. Thank you for the video ❤
i’m reading it right now and she goes too fast 😭 i have no idea what she’s describing half of the time and characters come out of nowhere and she jumps from one thing to another and the vocabulary she uses i’m unfamiliar with i am seriously struggling w this book lmao. but it also makes sense considering these are mrs dalloways unfiltered thoughts to herself
Yeah, me too. I fancy myself a good reader but most of the time I’m struggling to understand what is happening, who is who and what’s the general context
This is really helpful. I am about half way through the book and I find myself confused a lot. After seeing this, I shall return to the beginning and start over again.
Oh, the very last idea in the video - how beautifully said! I will certainly use this quote in my exam. Thanks for helping us out with your work! Great illustrations and, from someone who's read the book, I have to say I'm impressed how you managed to capture all the details in this summary. In a sense, watching it felt like a second reading ❤
NIce summery, thank you May I suggest watching the movie "The Hours" for further understanding. I suspect that the movie may escape those with little background on the novel but it's hard to eat an elephant in one sitting. The Hours takes place in a different place and time but the story helps understanding the novel and adds perspective. Perhaps it may ring a bell or remind you of events that have touched your life.
Not bad and a useful blitz review even for those who wade very deep into the novel's plethora of "meta-" perspectives and themes...since all those covert shades of meaning must interact with and swirl about the overt details of the plot.
I read an abridged version of the book, it's hugely enjoyable. So much so that it's one of my favorite novels. To be able to read the thoughts of the characters, I can feel that there's a love story going on. And also the characters are very vivid. I feel that I am kinda like Peter Walsh in a previous life.
such a nice presentation for students....i really appreciate your effort..but i have a question. can i ask?? why india came in that story?? does it mean that virginia woolf seen india as a place of boredom where unsuccessful british people used to go to find something worth doing??
They were still colonized by the English .. she’s just representing what society people did back then. But you can of course argue this point if you wish
The verdict of most readers ! Just like Ulysses written by James Joyce at around the same time … both used stream of consciousness as a storytelling technique … and , really , it’s a bit over-rated
Missed out so many important things and themes. The lunch is barely mentioned, nor Elizabeth’s walk through london. Also brushing off Clarissa and Sally’s kiss as just a crazy thing that happened between young people like they weren’t in love! I see your queer erasure.
Thanks for commenting. We had to cut some parts out to keep the summary short, however all of the things you have mentioned are in our part summaries and theme analyses of Mrs Dalloway.
This book is indeed very hard to understand only through text , this audio explanation helped a lot ❤

It’s my current read (English) and I’ve been having a hard time to follow; hence, I’m in youtube. 😅

The literary technique is called "stream of consciousness", once you get used to it, it'd be easier to follow their thoughts.
It’s not you. The book is torturous!
A thank you is an understatement :(
Hi, i am from India and i have exams today and i learnt everything from this video i didn't have to open my textbook.. thankyou:)
an excellently elaborative summary with captivating visuals fastened me throughout... huge applause
Lovely summary. Thank you.
This is really helpful. I am about half way through the book and I find myself confused a lot. After seeing this, I shall return to the beginning and start over again.
Good summary. It's a wonderful book.
This summary is way better than the actual book
This is an utterly disrespectful thing to say. This video is good but you can’t compare these two works like this.
ew

Thanks! So glad you found this summary helpful :)
Now I don't need to read the book for my exam i understand everything in this video so I don't need to read the book😂.. love from India🇮🇳
Excellent summary !
It’s a difficult read for most . Like the film (available on UA-cam) this should make ‘Mrs Dalloway’ a little more accessible.
I reccomend watching the film. It is very faithful to the book and it is here in youtube
NIce summery, thank you

Thank you so much, my professor gave us 3 days to read the whole book I only got through 70 pages lol

thank you SO much!

This is excellent! Aussie pride too :D
thank you!
such a nice presentation for students....i really appreciate your effort..but i have a question. can i ask??
why india came in that story?? does it mean that virginia woolf seen india as a place of boredom where unsuccessful british people used to go to find something worth doing??
it’s because peter walsh is a pretentious tourist, and just like other pretentious british assholes of the time, he decided to go hang out in India
They were still colonized by the English .. she’s just representing what society people did back then. But you can of course argue this point if you wish
Thank you 💖
You're welcome! Thanks for leaving a comment!
Piece of cake ❤
Just 👌 👏
Refering to the original version or The Hours???!!!
You saved me
Where I can to see in spanish?
This book was unintelligible nonsense disguised as being profound, impossible to follow
Ure just dumb
