She exercises these skills multiple times throughout Mrs. Dalloway, though it can be especially seen in the scene when Septimus commits suicide. During Septimus’s death, Woolf used strong descriptive language to describe the complex nature of Septimus’s mind and in doing this, the scene accurately depicted what it is like to be insane. The slowing of time, the growing darkness in which fills his mind, and the horrific visions of death were so detailed that the audience could painfully internalize these scenes as if it were them who were suffering. In addition, Septimus’s inner thoughts revealed his lack of self-worth and emphasized the depression he succumbed to — “[i]t was their idea of tragedy, not his (Woolf - 149),” the tragedy referring to Septimus’s death. During this scene, Woolf applied her language skills to reflect the pessimistic perspective of Septimus and allowed the audience to have a brief glance into the mind of a suicidal individual. In a conventional sense, Mrs. Dalloway essentially did not have customary climax nor a determined framework, and, in a sense, this was Woolf’s way of purposefully replicating the disarray and confusion found in Septimus. The complex style of Woolf’s writing closely relates to the nature of the human psyche, and she conveys this with her character Septimus Warren
