"The mirror is dangerous; it sometimes shows her the dark manifestation of air that matches her body, takes her form, but stands behind, watching her, with porcine eyes and wet, hushed breathing" (Cunningham, 310).
Michael Cunningham describes the mirror like this so the reader thinks of it more as a character in the novel, and less of a mirror. Virginia Woolf is the person who wrote Mrs. Dalloway, and this moment shows that she does fear age and time, which is an important theme in both The Hours and Mrs. Dalloway.
