Clarissa shared a true emotional connection with Sally.
Theirs was a very deep friendship that later happened to have a little sexual tension . Clarissa’s most fond memory is of being kissed in the garden by Sally. During this time period something like this would considered extremely taboo.
Sally Seton Richard Dalloway
Richard is an incredibly conservative man. He in part gives Mrs. Dalloway an identity. You could say without him she is just plain old Clarissa, but that won’t do for her. He is a loving father and husband, however Richard has a tough time expressing it. He can’t even bring himself to say “I love you” to Clarissa, even though he does love her.
Clarissa Dalloway
“Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself.” This begins to establish some of the important themes of class in the novel. The fact that Clarissa is going herself, instead of sending a servant, is symbol of how much a strong and independent women
Clarissa is.
Septimus Warren
Look no further then the connection Clarissa and Septimus share as both of these characters have most of the things in common with each other. Both share psychological qualities, as both suffer from deep depression, both characters have lost their way in a sense with who they are as people. Both engage in a lifestyle that validates nationalism and war.
Peter Walsh
Peter is definitely insecure. He has come to London to end the marriage before it begins with the woman he “loves”,
Daisy. However it is not convincing that Peter’s in love with Daisy. Since the novel occurs throughout the course of a day. Throughout the day, he’s deeply preoccupied by memories of Clarissa. Instead of Daisy, he loves her deeply, and he is sure he still does. His insecurity is evident as he intended to announce his great love for
Daisy to cover his true feelings, he ends up crying and asking Clarissa if she really loves Richard
