In her diary, Mrs. Woolf wrote that she wanted to criticize the social system in this novel. Here, in the character of Lady Bruton and Hugh Whitbread, she makes a critical jab.

In the preceding scene, she exposed Holmes and Bradshaw's slavish devotion to appearances; here she uses an entire scene to gently ridicule certain English manners. The small luncheon party scene is a foretaste, a miniature of the later, climactic party scene. She has invited Hugh and Richard to lunch so they can help her. She thinks Hugh knows how to write a letter that appeals to editors.

The men leave and Lady Bruton lies on the sofa. She remembers herself as a girl, riding on her pony in the country and roughhousing with her brothers. Hugh and Richard seem attached to her by a thread, which grows thinner as they move farther from her. An Inspector Calls Dr. Jekyll and Mr. SparkTeach Teacher's Handbook.

When Dr. Holmes pushes into his home to see him, Septimus throws himself out the window to his death. Septimus' wife, Lucrezia lived in Italy before marrying and made hats with her sister.

She is young and fun loving, but becomes seriously humiliated and sad when Septimus starts slipping into insanity. She wanted a normal marriage with children, not a man who talks to himself.

The daughter of a general, she is an older woman much more concerned with the British Empire than relationships or society.

She invited Richard, but not Clarissa, to lunch causing Clarissa to question her own purpose. She and Clarissa have little in common. The overbearing doctor who first treats Septimus, he insists that nothing is wrong with Septimus and commands that Rezia try to keep his mind on other things. Septimus views him with hatred, feeling that the doctor represents the evils of human kind trying to stifle him.

It is Holmes rushing up the stairs past Rezia that persuades Septimus to kill himself. The esteemed psychologist who treats Septimus after Dr. Holmes, Bradshaw recommends rest in the country for Septimus so he can be reoriented to Bradshaw's strict ideal of proportion. He recognizes that Septimus is seriously suffering from post-war anguish. He is hated by Septimus because he represents humanity along with Holmes, by Rezia because he tries to separate the couple, and by Clarissa because he makes the lives of his patients intolerable.
