Mrs Dalloway is along Bond Street, because she is going to Mulberry the florists.

She watches around her and she reminds herself of her youth: shops, her father, her uncle, in short her life. As a matter of fact she thinks about her life and in particular about her unhappiness caused by her wrong choices.

The plot is reduced to the minimum (one day), because the attention is focused on the interiority of the character. This is the result of the new conception of time: the time is simultaneous and following the French philosopher Henri Bergson the present is the result of man’s past memory and the expectations of the future.

Besides Mrs Dalloway is middle age, because she has experience of life.

As a matter of fact there is a third person omniscient narrator: he comes into the mind of the character adopting the interior monologue though the free indirect style and the free direct style.

The narrator describes Mrs Dalloway as an elegant woman, because she wears gloves and shoes. Besides she has interested into the look Bond Street fascinated her, therefore she makes much of outward appearance, but she lacks in a deep reflection before the War, you could buy almost perfect gloves. From this moment on the narrator expresses Mrs Dalloway’s thoughts that have not a logical association. For example she thinks about her Uncle William And her old Uncle William used to say a lady is known by her shoes and her gloves. As a matter of fact the narrator reports the direct speech in Mrs Dalloway’s mind That is all and I have enough using the free direct style. Subsequently she thinks about her daughter Elizabeth: she is different from her mother in the way she wears and she is different, because she is more cultivate than her mother: sitting mewed in a stuffy bedroom with a prayer book. In addition Mrs Dalloway’s husband is like she: but it might be only a phase, as Richard said, such as all girls go through. After that the narrator focuses her attention on Miss Kilman, who is Elizabeth’s teacher. Elizabeth’s attention on Miss Kilman reflects Mrs Dalloway’s attention on Miss Kilman herself. As a matter of fact the narrator tells she would have loved Miss Kilman. And Mrs Dalloway’s worry for Elizabeth’s relation ship with miss Kilman reflects Mrs Dalloway’s worry inasmuch as she fells for her.

Besides Mrs Dalloway is presented by the narrator in a contradictory aspect. She feels the superiority herself, but at the same time she feels her inferiority. That means she is not pleased with her life. As a matter of fact the narrator tells had become one of those spectres with which one battles in the night. For example she can not love Miss Kilman, because could be a scandal. Mrs Dalloway protects herself by her fears and her weakness putting her attention on the look made all pleasure in beauty, in friendship, I being well, in being love and making her home delightful… Besides the narrator underlines Mrs Dalloway pain with exclamation, for example she would love Miss Kilman! This hatred! And Nonsense, nonsense!

Finally there are two time: the time of the story and the time of narration. The first is the time in which the story happens, one day. The second is the time in which Mrs Dalloway thinks about her life and it is the time of consciousness. As a matter of fact the fiction focuses the attention on a short time to elaborate on characters interiority.
