Read the following essay excerpt about Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway: In addition to pulling back away from the ideal of a professional career, Elizabeth cannot really understand life from anyone's place but her very comfortable upper-class one and as such, does not aspire to a life of service. Elizabeth wants only to be in the country with her dogs instead of continuing her ancestors' legacy of service to society or self-sacrifice like Mrs. Kilman. On page 138, readers learn "there was in the Dalloway family the tradition of public service. Abbesses, principles, head mistresses, dignitaries, in the republic of women—" It's as if Elizabeth's genealogy and the change-filled time of her adolescence lead one to believe there are great things in store for the girl. However, descriptions of Elizabeth's personality and actions contradict this hope. It's a building up and a letting down.
