Apology

"She would ask for forgiveness by shying away, by what would be prove to be the day of his death. " (203)

Clarissa apologizes to Richard because she was trying to fit him into her happy life when he was miserable. She invited him to her party, thinking that he is poud of his accomplishments, when he feels like a failure. She plays the same role as Bradshaw and Holmes do in Mrs. Dalloway, because she tries to sculpt his soul into something it is not anymore.
