Mrs. Dalloway presents the human nature in reality which is manifested in the struggles of some specific power relations such as those between heterosexuality and homosexuality concerning love and marriage,and those between reason and madness in relation to the external and internal world of the characters. The fates of Septimus and Clarissa are coherently alike. Through the Foucauldian analysis of the power relations in this novel,this paper reveals both the impact of the war on common people and the degeneration of human nature.
