The Leaden Circles have Dissolved in the Air

These past few days in English we watched the movie The Hours. I really liked this movie because it took characters from Mrs. Dalloway and intermingled them into the other characters. For example, Richard and Septimus were the same person. There was still the fact that Richard and Clarissa were in love, but they never were married. Also, Richard suffered from AIDS and eventually kills himself the same way as Septimus. Also, I really loved the fact that this movie showed the problems Virginia Woolf were dealing with and how the problems she faced were incorporated into her book Mrs. Dalloway. I often times wondered why Woolf created this book and how it was a true reflection of her and now I see how. Woolf defied the social standards and was deemed crazy because of it. Every character in the book is reflection of Virginia Woolf herself. Lastly, I really liked this book because it connected the past, present, and future. It showed how Mrs. Dalloway could be anyone and how our past plays a big part of our future. Just like the "leaden circles dissolved in the air" time has dissolved in the air and the past, present, and future have become forever jumbled up and continuous (Woolf 4).
