Lots of Hours

I really enjoy reading the hours so far. I like that i can relate the story of Clarissa Vahgn to Clarissa Dalloway and make subtle connections as i read. Also i think Laura Brown's story is very interesting because it seems to trivial in retrospect but there is definately more to come. I can easily relate the characters to each other event though they are separated by three different time periods because they all have similar attitudes and behavior towards the events of their everyday lives. They each give off a sense of recollection or desire to be elsewhere, live elsewhere. Laura dreams of a life exploring her hidden talents and lost possibilities because she feels trapped as a pregnant mother and spouse in a fairly ordinary life. Clarissa thinks back to how her life could have played out had she stayed lovers with Richard instead of Sally. Virginia think of how she feels starved of London, and her suburban life lacks the excitement of the hustle and bustle of city life. So far all three characters have expressed their feelings of entrapment and their inability to fulfill their lives according their exclusive dreams and desires. The end of each chapter seems to give resolution by bringing the characters back to reality and grounding them to their current situation. I am enjoying The Hours much more than i thought i would having already read Mrs. Dalloway.
