For my essay a few sences appeal to me but the one i have selected is Richards resolve to tell his wife he loves her. With in it im inermingaling the relivence of time and Big Ben. I really like the scene and i think its crusial for the rest of the story. I think it can be seen as a great reprsentation of the rest of the book. and that there are alot of messages Woolf is trying to portray though Richard, Mrs. Dallowway, Big Ben and the events of this scene.

This is a good scene to focus on. Keep in mind the nature of the communication that takes place between husband and wife even without words being spoken. The flowers, which crop up elsewhere--in the opening, during Sally Seton's kiss--seem significant, as does the very nature of the love between Richard and Clarissa (who, in the "Love and Religion" passage, seems to reject it--just as she has rejected Peter for Richard...and you might want to consider why, what is it about the relationship she has with Richard (as revealed in this scene) that she couldn't have had with Peter?).
