1. Virginia Woolf was interested in depicting the complex inner thoughts and memories of characters through techniques like stream of consciousness and shifting between past and present.
2. In Mrs. Dalloway, she connects the characters of Clarissa and Septimus through their similar sensitivity and reliance on partners, though their stories do not directly intersect until Septimus' death is announced at Clarissa's party.
3. As utopian visions of the future declined, dystopian novels emerged depicting perfect but tyrannical or oppressive societies as a warning against the misuse of technology and unchecked modernity.A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens Analysis

The city of London
- 1. Mind map: The city of London Andrea Scalzi VF
- 2. William Blake (1757-1827) William Blake describes his city in ＾London￣. In the poem, Blake is principally describing a very corrupted society dominated by the power of materialism and the contrast between upper and working-class sections of society. It is written from a very negative perspective where people who exist in a dark and oppressive world, suffering the consequences of corruption of those in positions of power. The problem is that they do not realize this is happening to them. For this reason, he is rejecting the idea of an ideological or perfect place to live and he wants people to be aware of the misery surrounding them. No wonderful streets, no pleasant people. A world with a very depressing atmosphere, where everything is poverty stricken. All these ideas are represented in one place: London.
- 3. Charles Dickens (1812-1870) Charles Dickens was well versed in the poverty of London, as he himself was a child worker after his father was sent to debtors¨ prison. His appreciation of the hardships endured by impoverished citizens stayed with him for the rest of his life and was evident in his novels. Dickens began writing Oliver Twist after the adoption of the Poor Law of 1834, which halted government payments to the able-bodied poor unless they entered workhouses. The novel was the first of the author¨s works to realistically depict the impoverished London underworld and to illustrate his belief that poverty leads to crime.
- 4. Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) London is the key to fully exploring Stevenson's theme of duality in ＾The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde￣. The London street on which the novel begins is an important setting throughout the story. Victorian London was new and exciting, and Stevenson portrays it as both beautifully majestic and mysteriously dark.
- 5. Oscar Wilde (1854-1900) Wilde¨s The Picture of Dorian Gray reinforces Victorian London¨s preoccupation with the zoning of London: the wealthy West End and the decrepit Est End. The fluidity in which Dorian moves between his debauchery amongst the docks and opium dens of the East End to the high society of West London, emphasises his duality.
- 6. Virginia Woolf (1882-1941) To Virginia Woolf, London was a source of creative inspiration, a setting for many of her works, and a symbol of the culture in which she lived and wrote. The city fascinated Woolf, yet her relationship with it was problematic. In her attempts to resolve her developmental struggles as a woman write in a patriarchal society, Woolf shaped and reshaped the image and meaning of London. In "Mrs. Dalloway", Virginia Woolf uses the setting of the city of London to effectively show the vastly different emotional responses of the three of the novel's characters: Clarissa Dalloway, Septimus Warren Smith and Peter Walsh.
- 7. George Orwell (1903-1950) By setting 1984 in London, Orwell is able to invoke the atmosphere of a real war-torn community. His intent clearly was to capitalize on a memory that every reader, especially a British reader, was likely to have. London in 1984, then, becomes not just a make-believe place where bad things happen to unknown people, but a very real geographical spot that still holds some connection for the modern reader.
