My area of confusion is based off of Clarissa’s sexual orientation and her marriage.įrom an article titled, “Clarissa’s Passion” the author examines her marriage and Clarissa as a person, and Mrs. Clarissa cares too much of society and chose Richard because he could offer her a “traditional” life that is less threatening than a passionate life that Peter or Sally could have offered.Īlthough she doesn’t feel passionate for Richard and almost regrets marrying him, she still worries that she fails to satisfy him as well. She does not feel passionately for Richard and is constantly reminding herself that she should have picked another spouse. It is clear that she enjoys being solitary as she has been sleeping without her husband for quite some time. Her struggle to find her role in society places a heavy weight on her shoulder as she is having difficulty uniting her innermost self with what society sees as acceptable. Dalloway, Clarissa Dalloway is full of isolation and loneliness.
