Mrs. Dalloway

Mrs. Dalloway and The Hours

Aline Damiane Bagestão ¹

        In this review we will treat to analyze the work Mrs. Dalloway written by Virginia Woo and the film "The Hours." In both stories we can see discontent and sadness of living. In the film are portrayed the lives of three women at different times.

        The first is portrayed by Virginia shows the course of writing and dissatisfaction of life that leads, the second a book reader Virginia and last is the very character living history. Both the desire and death accompany them. Virgina is already tired of living and will show us the dark side.

        What's common between the story and the film are the reflections of the life of women, who are not satisfied with the lives they take away try to show otherwise. A typical day, where the hours pass, the time shows which is important for our choices, and it all comes down to a choice that cannot be changed, nor our thoughts.

        In fact, both works are difficult to understand because of the large stream of consciousness that is beyond us show how important our thinking and they can refer us to the good or bad times we had, some may directly affect the choice of our future.
