a) Reading the extract from Mrs. Dalloway, the reader understands that there are two different narratives: a narrative of physical actions in which events are showed by an impersonal narrator and a narrative of thought in which everything is filtered by a third-person narrator who tells the story from Mrs. Dalloway's mind. It follows that there are two different points of view.

b) As the intelligent reader can understand, there is a simultaneous concept of time: time is the time of consciousness of the character. Time is no longer linear because everything is told when it appears in Mrs. Dalloway's mind: as a consequence there is a mixture of past, present and future.
