Summary/Abstract: In this paper, elements of popular culture in Virginia Woolf’s novel Mrs. Dalloway are analyzed, and the theses from John Fisk’s Popular Culture are used as a concept for the analysis. In addition to basic data on the concept of popular culture, the paper presents the novel Mrs. Dalloway and the way in which they modify the purchased products according to their own expectations, giving them a special im- pression and meaning. Purchased products, advertisements and public places, such as the shopping districts of London, shopping malls and private entertainment, are colored by the emotions of the characters, but at the same time, they awaken the emotions of the hidden desires and encourage them to think. Based on Fisk’s theory, the connection between the elements of popular culture in the work and the char- acter’s inner life is determined.
