This paper discusses what the binary oppositions in Virginia Woolf's Mrs. Dalloway and Michael Cunningham's The Hours--sanity and insanity, the chronological time and the diachronical time--effect in the reader's mind. In short, the texts do not describe a third realm that is allowed to be recognized by the reader. The third realm is the transphenomenal way to the other, the outside of the reader's self. This paper has both purposes of constructing a theoretical view of the novels and of putting the theory into practice. I discuss the ideas of Emmanuel Levinas, Gilles Deleuze to validate my argument. I argue that while reading the novels, the reader's mind is drawn to the point where the distinction between the oppositions is blurred and traceable only by the sensibility that Levinas calls enjoyment or jouissance.
