"Mrs. Dalloway"

" Mrs. Dalloway said she would buy the flowers herself. For Lucy Had her work cut out for hr. The doors would have been taken off their hinges; Rumplelmayer's men were coming. And then, though Clarissa Dalloway, what a morning-fresh as if issued to children on a beach." (Cunningham, 37).

Mrs. Dalloway was a novel written by Virginia Woolf. It is off this novel that everything in The Hours is built off of and parallel to. All three characters are surrounded by this book, whether they are the writer, character, or reader. Without Mrs. Dalloway, The Hours would not have existed. (Edit) Cunningham made sure that these two novels have much of the same symbolism, plot outline, and truths.
