This excerpt from Mrs. Dalloway reveals the state of mind of Septimus Warren Smith, a war veteran with a<u> a. pessimistic</u> outlook on the world. The last two sentences also illustrate <u>c. the struggle to find meaning in life</u>, which is a common characteristic of modernist literature.

His pessimistic outlook of the world can be proved by the character's interpretation of a curious patter like a tree upon the blinds: something bad, mischievous, terrifying; as well as his feeling toward the environment, the world that "threatened to burst into flames". None of his perceptions shows something positive, nor moderate about the world.

And the last two sentences illustrate the struggle to find meaning in life, this is clear when the character questions himself about his purpose, why is he there, rooted to the pavement?. At the same time, this option is characteristic of the modernist literature surged in the early 1900s, where the narration is usually made through interior perception and self-consciousness.

Describe the difference between a first- and third-person narratorÍs effects on a reader. What advantages and disadvantages are
juin [17]
When a novel is using the first person point of view, the reader is getting the impression that he is a part of a story, he is completely immersed in it. First person narrators tend to be more subjective and closer to the reader in that they think about what the reader may think, and not just narrate the events. On the other had, third person narrators are completely different - they give off this vibe of distance, and they are quite objective, usually tending to just narrate what is going on around them.
Hope this helps!
