Differentiated book* It has a historical context with research of the time-Night and Day is Virginia Woolf's second novel, published on October 20, 1919. Set in Edwardian London, Night and Day contrasts the daily lives of two friends, Katharine Hilbery and Mary Datchet. The novel examines the relationships between love, marriage, happiness, and success. Woolf uses dialogue and descriptions of thought and action to the same extent, unlike a later novel, Al faro. There are four main characters (Katharine Hilbery, Mary Datchet, Ralph Denham, and William Rodney) to whom she continually turns. Night and day deals with matters related to female suffrage, whether love and marriage can coexist, and whether it is necessary to get married to have happiness. Motifs throughout the book include the stars and sky, the River Thames, and the walks; Also, Woolf makes numerous references to the works of William Shakespeare, especially As You Like It.In Noche y día, as in her predecessor Fin de viaje, the writer's intention to break the narrative molds inherited from previous English novelism, especially the subordination of characters and actions to the general argument of the novel, as well as descriptions of traditional settings and characters; however, these first titles hardly deserved critical consideration.
