    This book was sheer torture. Stream of consciousness is not for me, I’m afraid. Thank you for making me understand the themes of the story.

      I agree. Reminded me of a "BLOG" where people want to share their unsolicited thoughts and never-ending personal, uninteresting perceptions and useless activities.

    I enjoyed this. I just read Mrs Dalloway, watched a couple of movies about it, saw the Opera The Hours. Thanks to maybe the help, I found Mrs Dalloway easy to read, and glorious. I think it is one of the best novels i have ever read. Thanks to all the outside sources who expanded my understanding, helped me appreciate the genius of this book. I will never be the same.

    OMG I feel so much better now that I've read the comments of people having trouble with this book, I wanted to read it in English (not my first language) instead of a translation and it really made me question myself. I thought I didn't understand cause I had, somehow, forgotten the language 🤭

    You mean to tell me that schools assign this novel for high school teens? I read it at 23 for the first time and even then I did not fully understand it. No wonder young people hate good literature if their first introduction in it is the most difficult Virginia Woolf novel.

    Oh thank you! I read the book and loved it even though I didn‘t quite understand the good second half of it. Now I must say, I grew even more fond of it, for I have a better understanding of the book as a whole.

    Hey, just a friendly suggestion - you might want to make the background sounds less loud.
    I don’t know if other people have had the same issue, but I’ve found the gasps and other animated characters’ reactions very distracting because they are happening simultaneously with your presentation while being louder than your voice. Otherwise, really great content, I’m just a bit sad because the background noise really takes the focus off the content so I have to keep rewinding in order to focus on what you’ve said. Hope you’ll fix this so I can continue enjoying your videos. :)
    All the best!

      These sounds puts life in the video and you might not notice it but they make you think what’s not told, which is correct. Like Dalloway gasping when his husband comes because she thinks it’s time for guests and gets shocked how time flew... later knowing that it’s just his husband
