A truly masterful tale by Virginia Woolf which conveys the change of societal values from Victorianism to Modernism. Despite still having Victorian style language, Night and Day is filled with modern themes such as challenging the institution of marriage, what are the roles of a man/woman, individuality, and religion. She still, however, includes the usual Victorian characters (gossipers, pretentious people, extremely wealthy family contrasted with poor family, etc.) and has her characters try to find their own definition for love.
