SUBJECTS:  English

Virginia Woolf's 'Mrs Dalloway' is set in London over a period of a single day in June 1923.

What other novel, mentioned in this video, is set over a period of a single day? What might be the consequences of setting a novel over such a short period of time?

Other than Mrs Dalloway, name an important character in the novel. What role does this character play in setting the tone and mood of the novel?
