Claimed in Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway
Volume 1, Issue 1, 2019, Pages 62 - 69
1 PhD. English Literature
Abstract :
In the literary period of modernism, Mrs Dalloway is a modernist fiction set in London, England with Woolf’s usage of third person omniscient, and a free indirect discourse point of view. Woolf’s texts are typical examples of twentieth-century narratives that portray the cultural and social relations and space. Considering Woolf’s style of writing, there is a heavy usage of psychological details hidden in the body of the story, as the main goal of this research is viewing these details in relation to the selected characters to show the importance of the psychoanalytical analysis and therapy on the main character of the story as the case study, as well as the time and space elements toward the mentality of characters using Dr. Karen Horney’s Psychoanalytical Social theory, in the case of affection and approval or in contrast case of aggression strategies, as well as her other essential key concepts.
