4. Mrs. Dalloway: (pg 7)

4. Mrs. Dalloway: (pg 7) "It was the state of the world that interested him; Wagner, Pope’s poetry, people’s characters eternally, and the defects of her own soul.”:
Richard Wagner was a German known for his 13 operas and numerous other compositions. His political viewpoints were varied and controversial but he was a very influential person during his life and even after his death. Alexander Pope is a famous poet who began writing his first versus at age 12. He was born in London. Woolf references these men and their work for character development; Wolf depicts Peter as reflective and hard to please person. He can be demanding and particular.
