Even though Woolf tried often to hide her feelings, many knew of her distress, as she makes these inner battles obvious through her short story, Mrs. Dalloway. This story is of Clarissa who is throwing a grand party shopping and Septimus who is a man who had to leave the war on account of him slowly losing his sanity.
