I can't help but watch the hours and try to fit every aspect of the story within a larger frame of Mr.s Dalloway. I try to find which characters are equivalent to their literary counterparts. I try to fit every event within the theme/ideology of the book even if it doesn't fit. But I keep getting confused and just cramming everything together like some giant horrible train crash.
Heres a helpful list I am making more for myself than you (feel free to read it anyways):
Mrs. Dalloway timeline charecters:
Richie is equivalent to Septimus, but not entirely. While he does commit suicide and is going mad he is far too much a part of Clarissa's life im going to chalk that up to artistic liberties taken within making the movie. I do feel however that it removes the whole inter connectivity of complete strangers theme that permeates throughout the novel .
Clarissa is obviously the same charecter from mrs dalloway
Louis waters is Peter Walsh however he had a relationship with Richie which once again removes another aspect of Septimus's character
1951 Timeline
I struggled fitting this timeline within the whole theme of a loose interpretation of Mr.s Dalloway until the end, when trying to portray a characters thoughts in movies it is a lot harder than within a book. The feelings of hopelessness Clarissa had were all within her head and the way you see this housewife act you see the desperation and the return from the verge of suicide that occurred within the book.
Victorian woolf timeline
This I feel didn't pertain to the book but rather to add to the story. It really adds a lot of believability to unstable depressed characters when you know the person who invented them was unstable and depressed. It was also in itself an interesting story and easily the largest departure thematically and story-wise the movie makes from mrs. dalloway.
