" Oliver St. Ives, who came out spectacularly in Vanity Fair and was subsequently dropped from his leading role in an expressive thriller, has gained more notoriety as a gay activist than he could ever have hoped for had he continued posing as a heterosexual..."(Cunningham, 93).
All three women in this novel have experienced homosexual feelings. Some have embraced it(Mrs. Dalloway), while others are ashamed (Mrs. Brown). Oliver St. Ives is a character present in Clarissa's life, and he has made his sexuality public fact. His beliefs and ideas are similar to what Cunningham is trying to portray in his novel.
