Postmodernism is not a contemporary fashion; rather, it is an open-ended movement that contains different theories. One of these is intertextuality, which is concerned with the interrelationship between/among different texts. In this thesis, the theme of “reading” will be emphasized in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway, Michael Cunningham’s The Hours and David Hare’s The Hours: A Screenplay. The authors and characters in these three texts will be analyzed via theories of intertextuality: those of Roland Barthes (“readerly” texts vs “writerly” texts), Julia Kristeva (genotexts vs phenotexts), Jacques Derrida (writing and difference), and Michel Foucault (empowerment in feminism), and via theories of reader-response: Roland Barthes (death of the author) and Stanley Fish’s reader interpretations (brute facts vs institutional facts). Jacques Lacan’s, Julia Krieteva’s, and Virginia Woolf’s psychological discourses of the “unconscious” and “conscious” will be emphasized, and I will finally note the authorial “haunting” by the “ghost” of the author of the first of the three texts, Virginia Woolf.
