This novel follows Clarissa Dalloway on a June day in London as she takes care of last-minute arrangements for a party at her home that evening. An apparently happy, superficial society hostess, Clarissa is revealed through her thoughts as extremely sensitive to experience, aware not only of the beauties but of the horrors and dangers of daily life. Her day consists of small happenings to which the novel attributes major significance. She receives a surprise visit from her former suitor and reflects on her reasons for choosing her husband. When her husband accepts a luncheon invitation that excludes her, she feels resentful and alone. Learning of the suicide of a shell-shocked World War I survivor, Stephen Septimus Smith, she sympathizes with his defiance of authority figures who would force the soul. In accepting her emotional kinship with Septimus, Clarissa is able both to come to terms with death and to embrace life. With renewed vitality, Clarissa attends her party.

Several Londoners go around town. The narrators point of view is inside these people's heads, and as the characters pass each other in their goings and comings, the internal point of view goes with them. It is an ongoing internal monologue from character to character.
The events are trivial: a party, a car driving through the city, Big Ben chiming, a shell shocked man committing suicide, and Peter Walsh's return from India.
The focus is not the events but on the character's thoughts, feelings, and impressions. It is an impressionistic novel from the modernist period.

Do some research online if you aren't motivated enough to read it yourself. Us doing your homework isn't how you're going to learn anything.
