Abstract

This paper intends to analyze time in the narratives of Virginia Wolf´s Mrs. Dalloway and of Michael Cunningham´s The Hours. Time does not appear in these novels only as a linguistic and literary structure nor only as the leitmotiv of their intrigues. It is shown connected to some of the issues of modernity - that are expanded and updated in the post-modernity: the end, the feminine, feminism, gender roles, sexuality, exhaustion, disillusionment, marriage, memory, the quotidian, death.
