Mrs Dalloway by Virginia Woolf

1- Themes are the fundamental and often universal ideas explored in a literary work.

What do you think the main themes in Mrs Dalloway are?

2- Characters

What is Woolf' s purpose in creating a range of female characters of various ages and social classes- from Clarissa herself and Lady Millicent Burton to Sally Seton, Doris Kilman, Lucrezia Smith, and Maisie Johnson? Does she present a comparable range of male characters?

The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie

1- Shortly after her forced retirement, Miss Brodie writes to Sandy, questioning who might have betrayed her. Sandy replies, "If you did not betray us it is impossible that you could have been betrayed by us." In what ways does Miss Brodie betray her girls?

2- What is the role of religion in the novel, in Miss Brodie's behaviour, and in Sandy's and the other girls' lives? What correspondence can you find between the treatment of religion in the novel and what you know about Muriel Spark's life?

The Time Machine by H.G. Wells

The Eloi are the descendents of the wealthy, upper-classes in Wells’s time, and thus, in many ways, the cause of the mistreatment of the laborers. Yet, in the future, the Time Traveller feels the most connection to Weena and the other Eloi. Does this affect the way you interpret Wells’s critique of British class structure? Why or why not?
