As with almost all literary pieces of work, Virginia Woolf’s 1925 novel, Mrs. Dalloway, incorporates and covers many themes throughout the book. Some of these themes included are, the importance of society and class, all around suffering, repression and oppression, and others alike.

Argo Film Critique Ben Affleck, director, does an excellent job with the movie Argo. Being able to find the fear and suspension in every scene is difficult to do, yet Affleck does so seamlessly.
