Miss. Dalloway

I found this book to be very interesting. Virginia Woolfe created her characters with realistic lives. She allowed her readers into the psychological character. I found Doris Kilman to be the most unstable character. She was hired by the Dalloway's to tutor their daughter in history, but is more concerned with teaching hate and bitterness. Miss Kilman is a poor miserable person and despises people who have more than she. She goes as far as thinking that everyone of those people owe her something. She hates Clarissa and thinks she isn't deservant of the things in her life. Clarissa fears her, and her influence on Elizabeth. Miss Kilman over exaggerates how hard her life is and wears worn clothes to "show off" in a sense. She is a very disturbing character and represents real people in society.
