There are three points of comparison which cry out to me having read both texts so I will concentrate on them in this post. The same writing style was used but the plot came through a lot stronger and the characters were presented in a more direct way- in a way that I found easier going. Mrs Dalloway on the other hand, I found, was pleasingly different. This was my main issue with To The Lighthouse (hereafter referred to as TTL), the stream of consciousness was great in its own right, but it lacked a plot that satisfied me. Having read To The Lighthouse just before embarking upon another Virginia Woolf classic, I was expecting a novel that was similarly philosophy-driven rather than plot-driven.
