In his novel The Hours, Michael Cunningham describes Virginia Woolf's Mrs. She took the internal monologue of the character Clarissa in Dalloway and turned it into a voiceover describing three women in three different places and time periods. In other words, as if to show that the issues that Woolf examines through the character of Clarissa are universal and timeless, she has handled them with three different characters and created a beautiful novel about being a woman, relationships and the identities we assume within relationships, death and immortality.
The Hours progress in three directions: One of the stories tells about the day when Clarissa, an editor living with her female partner in New York in the late 20th century, prepared a party for the literary award her poet friend, with whom she had a relationship in the past, received. As Clarissa questions her self, Cunningham leaves the reader with questions about the personalities we take on in different relationships, the impact of the decisions we make regarding relationships at different stages of our lives on our lives and our selves, and the possible selves we leave behind along with those we give up on. It makes me think that one of the reasons why looking back at the past gives happiness is the feeling that everything is possible on possible paths we have not taken. The second story tells the conflict between the freedom and self-confidence of a married woman with children in Los Angeles in 1949, and the identities of mother and wife that she is responsible for carrying on her shoulders. Woolf's Mrs. Frankly, the character reading Dalloway's novel reminded me more of A Room of One's Own. The third story begins with the narrative of Virginia Woolf's suicide, and then Woolf's Mrs. He describes the time period in which he wrote Dalloway. I think Cunnigham successfully reflects Woolf's inner world in this part.
In addition to seeing the themes Woolf focuses on in all three stories, you also breathe in the atmosphere of her fictions, the sadness of her delusions and the feeling of being stuck, which I liked very much. In addition, I liked the ending of the book with its fiction and narration. I think Cunningham successfully accomplished a task that was much more difficult than it seemed, with a creative idea. I recommend both the book and the movie.
