Virginia Woolf, in the novel Mrs. Dalloway (1925), introduces the character of Clarissa Dalloway, wife of Richard Dalloway (member of Parliament). For only about 15 hours, from nine o’ clock in the morning when she goes to buy some flowers for her party, until the early hours of the next day, when her guests depart the readers spend their time with her, are very close to the experience of her real life and to all the daily stimuli which remind her of others in the past.

Virginia Woolf uses two times, the chronological and the interior time to better show the difference between what characters think and their daily life.
This concept of time is well described in the 2002 film The Hours by Stephen Daldry in which the author follows the life of three women, three different generations, three diffrenet times – V. Woolf (1920s), an unhappy pregnant mother (1950s)and Clarissa Dalloway (2000s) .
