Document Summary
87-165 (end: the novel also examines decorum and politics in upper-/middle-class people"s lunch/dinner party. For example, in this section, we read about lady bruton"s lunch party, to which clarissa was not invited. What is so special about her lunch party: discuss clarissa"s and her husband"s versions of their marriage, we finally read about clarissa"s party, which she has been preparing for the whole day (and throughout the novel). While reading through this section, i thought that their marriage is more of an ideal in. For her it is something to maintain, like a charade. This is because it is obvious she does not love richard the way that she loved peter. She constantly doubts herself in comparison to richard which leads the reader to believe she is unhappy. If she were content in her marriage, she would not let these insecurities get to her to this extent.
