The text is taken by the Modern novel The Hours by Virginia Woolf. What a morning is a short story about Mrs. Dalloway.

Form the title we espect that the novel is about a lady who has married a man called Mr Dalloway, being a marry woman was very important because we understand her social status.

The author presents the protagonist one a day like many others of her life; Virginia Woolf tells Mrs. Dalloway's life just uses one day that became the paradigmatic example for the other days.

The story opens on a sunny morning in 1923, Clarissa Dalloway is walking along  the streets of London because she wants to buy some flowers that will decorate her house for the party she is giving. The city is full of people, colors and it sounds as if it could  represent Clarissa's feelings.

The story line is centered on Clarissa. Her characterization is make of facts, feelings, ideas, associations. The reader steps straight intoClarissa's mind.

The fresh air provokes a reaction: the lady goes back to a past moment; Clarissa asks herself some questions about her situation; she remembers when she was eighteen, she remembers her marriage and also she remembers death. something recurrent in her thoughts. Present and past coexist in the present.

While he is reading a novel like Mrs. Dalloway, the intelligent reader does not only follow the words on the page , he is expected to reconstruct the characters'life events but at the same time he/she  discovers their identity.  Modernist writing is not easy to access because the language is complex and reminds the one typical of poetry.

The novelist adopts free indirect style because she wants the reader to feel inside the character's mind.

Virginia Woolf chooses the interior monologue on purpose because she wants the reader to focus on the psychological aspects of her characters.

Her aim is the internal focalization of the characters so they are placed in the foreground.

Her narrative is free from those narrative elements that display the presence of a narrator and she hides the narrator behind the short connectors as "for" "and".

The idea of life like the  motion of birds is made by the repetitions of the verbs in the progressive aspect.

An additional , Peter Walsh, is characterized through   Mrs Dalloway's memory, and through her words as well as  her humoristic way of interacting with him. 

The reader understands that Clarissa is an intelligent woman by the way she speaks and he makes a clear idea about aristocracy.
