Does Virginia Woolf love the idea of Great Britain, or does she hate it. Is Mrs Dalloway is a downer or she is uplifting?

I'm not sure if Virginia Woolf loved Britain in terms of her novel. It is also difficult to isolate Mrs. Dalloway as uplifiting or a "downer": she is a much more complex character than that. She is viewed from many angles. Clarissa enjoys the moment-to-moment aspect of life and believes that a piece of her remains in every place she has visited. She lacks a certain warmth, but is a caring woman who is touched by the people around her and their connection to life in general. Clarissa feels that her parties are her gift to the world and is proud to share herself with others. She loves to be accepted but has the acuity of mind to perceive her own flaws, especially since her recent illness. Clarissa is a representative of an uppity English gentry class and yet, defies categorization because of her humanity and her relation to her literary double, Septimus Warren Smith. She is superficially based on Woolf's childhood friend, Kitty Maxse. You can check out more at the GradeSaver link below:
