Human relationships in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway
Leššová, Barbora ; Grmelová, Anna (advisor) ; Chalupský, Petr (referee)
This bachelor thesis deals with Virginia Woolf's one-day novel Mrs. Dalloway. The main aim is to point out how Woolf's personal view on life, her own sense of significance and unique sense of observing human soul are reflected in her portrayal of the human relationships in the novel. The thesis shows how characters in Mrs. Dalloway are connected at a social, but also at a deeper visionary level. The method of used literary interpretation has gone from the original text of the novel and opinions of the critics, which have been combined with personal Woolf's own attitudes and perceptions found in her personal Diary and thus providing the reader with a better insight into the author's mind.

There are three chapters in the body of the thesis. One of them provides contextual information about the possible influences that may have shaped the authors' writing as well as about some critical approaches to their work. The other two chapters analyse the form and content of the stories, respectively. The discussion of formal aspects of Mansfield's and Bowen's short stories focuses on various features of the short stories that may be described as impressionist or lyrical, and on technical devices that may be compared to film. The analysis of content is concerned especially...
