: So why does Virginia Woolfe decide to go ahead and kill herself at the end? She said she couldn't be happy in Richmond. Did she just decide that she couldn't be happy anywhere? And what is the significance of the term "the hours"???
i think, not positive, but i belive the term "the hours" is in the book Mrs. Dalloway, that connects the three women. i think i remember Richard (?)(ed harris) saying something like "always remeber the hours" or "at least we have the hours" or something to that extent. i think he was just quoting the book. not sure what it really means though
as for why she killed herself, i think she realized she wouldnt be happy anywhere. i think she already made up her mind that she was going to end her life during the train station scene. she most likely would have ran away, but she felt bad to leave her husband like that and went home with him to apease his feelings. then she killed herself in richmond.
i still love the picture, but the one thing it could have explained more was why they were so depressed. all seemed to be living pretty nice lives, especially juliane moore's character. i guess it wasnt really that important, but i still would have liked to known why
wasnt ms moore scary when she was old!
