[|**The Hours - Richard's Goodbye**] Film based on Michael Cunningham's novel of the same name. In turn, Mr. Cunningham used most of the elements of //Mrs. Dalloway// by Virginia Woolf. The tone is one of resignation on the part of the male character with some happiness in his "ending." The female character Clarissa is left in a tone described a lonely, yet compassionate and, pehaps, fulfilled. Perhaps, showing a clip of the moment when Virginia Woolf -- (available if you have the whole film) decides that the poet must die -- would be useful in a discussion of developing tone in literature.
