16. Mrs. Dalloway: (pg 31) “And then at Constantinople, and again and again.”:
Constantinople was an ancient Byzantine city that strived for over 1000 years. Woolf visited this city (now the capital of Turkey) in 1906. Woolf most likely learned of Constantinople’s history while she was in Turkey and compared Clarissa’s “failure” to the downfall of this once striving city due to they knowledge she possessed of this area. The downfall of a city that strived for so long is a huge failure; Woolf depicts Clarissa feeling that she had a major downfall as well: “something central which permeated.”
