All characters throughout Woolf’s novel are, in at least some way, concerned with their outward appearance. From Clarissa’s blatant obsession with and concern about how those around her perceive her to Septimus’s apparent rejection of all social norms, each character is at all times aware of how their peers view them and work to make sure this view is molded in a certain way. From Clarissa’s party to Septimus’s suicide, all of Woolf’s characters craft their actions deliberately, with the intent to send a message to society.
