“’My party tonight! Remember my party tonight’ (48)”!
Woolf uses repetition to emphasize the shallow thoughts and
feelings of Mrs. Dalloway and the rest of the upper class society she is a part
of. Mrs. Dalloway repeats this one sentence about reminding people to come to
her party several times, and each time the character seems to come across a
little more desperate. Woolf shows that Mrs. Dalloway’s most important thought
is her party. Even as she is having all these life realizations and seeing
people she hasn’t seen in so long, she is still obsessed with the thought of
not enough people showing up to her party. This shows the superficiality of society.
