Jamille Mansur's video: Mrs Dalloway - A ltima Festa - Legendado

Mrs Dalloway é um romance se passa em um dia na vida de Clarissa Dalloway no período pós-Primeira Guerra Mundial, na Inglaterra. Criado a partir de dois contos, "Mrs. Dalloway em Bond Street" e o inacabado "O primeiro-ministro", o livro trata dos preparativos para uma festa da qual Clarissa é anfitriã. A história viaja para a frente e para trás no tempo e se desenvolve dentro e fora da mente das personagens para construir uma imagem da vida de Clarissa. Clarissa Dalloway goes around London in the morning, getting ready to host a party that evening. The nice day reminds her of her youth at Bourton and makes her wonder about her choice of husband; she married the reliable Richard Dalloway instead of the enigmatic and demanding Peter Walsh and she "had not the option" to be with Sally Seton. Peter reintroduces these conflicts by paying a visit that morning. Septimus Warren Smith, a veteran of World War I suffering from deferred traumatic stress, spends his day in the park with his Italian-born wife Lucrezia, where they are observed by Peter Walsh. Septimus is visited by frequent and indecipherable hallucinations, mostly concerning his dear friend Evans who died in the war. Later that day, after he is prescribed involuntary commitment to a psychiatric hospital, he commits suicide by jumping out of a window. Clarissa's party in the evening is a slow success. It is attended by most of the characters she has met in the book, including people from her past. She hears about Septimus' suicide at the party and gradually comes to admire the act of this stranger, which she considers an effort to preserve the purity of his happiness.
