1. Introduction
Michael Cunningham (born November 6, 1952) is an American writer. He is best known for his 1998 novel The Hours, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and the PEN/Faulkner Award in 1999. The Hours depicts the three women’s psychology in order to show us their colorful psychological world. The author uses the method of super realism to connect the three women’s spiritual life. Also, the author observes his main characters, and lays stress on their miserable life and the choices they’ve made when facing the miserable lives. In this thesis, the author uses the method of comparison to recur the lives and the choices of the main characters. There exist lots of study on the feminism and the theme of death. But there still exists a lack of comprehensive conclusion of the women’s lives.
