Résumé :	This dissertation examines the portrayal of the themes of insanity and suicide in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway and, to a certain extent; the similarities of her work with her personal experience and how it is embodied through the two main characters Clarissa Dalloway and Septimus Warren Smith. Mrs. Dalloway tells the story of a single day in Clarissa Dalloway’s life but also interweaves it with another story, that of Septimus Smith. These themes have been approached from a psychoanalytical perspective in addition to the use of trauma theory and also biographical criticism relying mainly on the novel itself in addition to major works by Freud on Psychoanalysis and trauma theory as well as a biography of Woolf. By analyzing this novel; first, as far sanity and insanity are concerned, this researchdelves into Septimus’s madness and its causes. It also attempts at showing that the two different but parallel worlds of the sane and the insane are not so different after all to finally reach the conclusion that these very notions of sanity and insanity are, in fact; quite relative and overlapping. Another contrast in the novel to be shown is that of life and death and how Septimus’s suicide impacts Clarissa Dalloway. This section emphasizes the centrality of identity and the impact of rupture of communication with the outside world on the two protagonists. It reaches the result that suicide is but a mere quest to self-preservation and again sheds the light on the relativity of life and death. This work reaches the final result that Septimus and Clarissa were used by Woolf two different sides of her own, i.e.; her doubles.
