... With this in mind one finds that in Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, the heroine, Clarissa Dalloway, has the hidden desire to achieve some kind of freedom and autonomy within her marital vow. ...
Her relationship with Richard is much more like a caring friendship than a passionate marriage and beside him she feels invisible at times as though she had lost her sense of being: “She had the oddest sense of being herself invisible; unseen; unknown; there being no more marrying, no more having of children now, but only this astonishing and rather solemn progress with the rest of them, up Bond Street, this being Mrs. Dalloway; not even Clarissa any more; this being Mrs. Richard Dalloway” (Woolf, 13). ...
CONCLUSION
While it is vital to acknowledge the legitimacy of Clarissa Dalloway sexual choices, it is also important to consider whether a relationship between two women that follows heterosexual patterns of relating is as equally limiting as a relationship between a man and a woman.
