Dalloway Discussion

For my essay i am going to write about the intersection of subjective and objective time. the scene i plan to render is the first few pages of the book when Calrissa is transported back to bourton by the squeak of a door hinge. The subjective form of time is a key element in the ecocentric prediciment, we are all inside out own worlds on our own time, but BIG BEN will always strike when hours have passed.

Yes, we had a chance to talk about this, and I think you're on the right track. Emphasize the elasticity of subjective time (and the idea that the past is never really 'past') against the rigidity of Big Ben's leaden hours.

This should be fun.
