This lesson will give you an overall plot summary of Mrs Dalloway. Watch as Clarissa obsessively and meticulously plans a beautiful party for all her glittering, upper class guests. But she has a nagging sense that this might all be meaningless. In fact, Clarissa questions all her major life decisions, including her marriage to Richard. Should she have married Peter Walsh instead? And whatever happened to Clarissaâs first true love, Sally Seton? In another part of London, Septimus and Lucrezia Warren Smith are plunged into a crisis. With Septimus slipping further into madness, Lucrezia struggles to maintain hope. So, they turn to doctors out of desperation. But could seeking treatment for Septimusâ shellshock do more harm than good?
Watch our plot summary of Mrs Dalloway to find out what happens.
