Night and Day discussion questions


 
Night and Day
Questions for discussion
  • How are the characters of Katherine and Mary presented initially? How do they evolve?
  • Woolf said of the novel that she was interested in the effects of  “the things one doesn’t say.”  How does this affect the interactions of the characters?
  • What shapes the decisions Katharine makes?
  • Do any of the characters change their attitudes and values? How?
  • How do Katherine and Cassandra compare?
  • How do Ralph and William compare?
  • Does the book have a clear message? What is it?
