Pure Bliss

"They were perfectly happy now, she said, suddenly, putting the hat down. For she could say anything to him now. She could say whatever came into her head."(pg. 146: Mrs. Dalloway)

Rezia and Septimus become closer in this moment, even though it is as simple as sitting together. Rezia describes the mood as being "perfectly happy." Rezia finds trust in Septimus or else she wouldn't be saying "whatever came into her head." Also throughout Mrs. Dalloway, Rezia doesn't have a voice, or an opinion, in the book. She is always told what to think, especially when it comes to Septimus and his PTSD. The only person that will truly listen is Septimus. Rezia and Septimus are equal through out because Rezia is a women and Septimus has a disorder. Doctors don't listen to them at all, which is a mistake because all the doctors believed Septimus was fine after he said he wanted to kill himself and they didn't listen. Look where that got them.

I have a similar experience to Rezia. I can remember last summer in Colorado; I was laying under the stars in an open field at 10 o'clock at night with my best friends, whom I get to see once a year. I can recall exactly what was said in the moment, "pure bliss." I felt as if I could start talking about anything in my life and they would listen. I felt trust in them, as Rezia to Septimus.
