The comparative study of texts and their appropriations reflect the context and values of their times, demonstrating how context plays a significant role. Virginia Woolf’s novel modernists Mrs Dalloway (1925) and Steven Daldry’s post modernists film The Hours (2002), an extrapolation, explore the rapid change of social and philosophical paradigms of the 20th century, focusing on women whose rich inner lives are juxtaposed with their outer lives. They place the characters in their respective context, to respond to, the horrors of the consequences of war and AIDS and the vagaries and difficulties of relationships, sexuality and mental illness. Through their differing intertextual perspectives the film and novel represent similar values, within different contextual concerns.

These two stories exemplify the epitome of women’s repression in the male-dominated society of the late nineteenth century by conveying the feelings of

The ongoing relationship between the literary movements of modernism and post-modernism is encompassed by the intertextual relationships between Stephen Daldry’s “The Hours” and Virginia Woolf’s “Mrs Dalloway”. These relationships communicate the inadequacy of previous writings to convey trauma, cultural crisis and the deep fragmentation within their respective societies. The immediate context of these social dialogues creates a clear division between each text, however the intertextual similarities between minor and major characters create an effective parallel to traverse decades, years, months and days. This is in order to assess the lasting impacts of society on an individual’s desire to escape either physically or metaphorically.

2. This story is taken place at a train station. Generally, this setting would represent a relaxing scene as it is a travelling moment within a journey. However, there is an intense feeling between the man and the girl, as seen from their conversations in the story. In addition, the girl is hesitant about the “operation,” which also adds to the intense feeling of the story. The function of this setting is to describe life as a journey, where hopping onto another train is equivalent to making a new decision in life and changing the direction on the path of life. The station also allows the man and the girl to go back to the past, by receiving the “operation” or move on into the future by not receiving the “operation.” Hence, this is the purpose and function of the setting in the story.

I learned never to doubt a confident person, but I still had no idea how he knew how to get around Istanbul. Unfortunately for us, Basil was an idiot, he had absolutely no idea how to get around the city since it was his first time their just like me. He had an innate feeling of confidence based off of no reason whatsoever, but I didn’t doubt him since I had no idea how to navigate the city and felt like a headless chicken in a Chinese meat shop. All of a sudden I heard Basil call out to me from the outside, “dude get off the train!”, there was only a few seconds left before the train doors closed and I would be transported to an unknown location with absolutely no idea of how to get around. I leaped off and watched the doors close behind me while the train sped off to the next stop. “Next time you stick by my side”, Basil exclaimed. I couldn’t agree more, and after that, I kept him in my sights.
