Abstract

Since Mrs. Dalloway is one of Virginia Woolf’s most famous novels; many critics argue that it is due to the use of modern technical innovations, or the employment of brilliant use of time, or the use of a clever shift of the stream of consciousness. However, this essay argues that Mrs Dalloway is significant mainly because the novel explores the traditional religious symbols and values, making people reconsider the traditional Christian values. This essay aims to persuade that the religious imagery of this novel contributes tremendously to construct the author’s anti-religious idea, which is the unsuccessful attempt of Christianity to offer solace to people psychologically.
