Study Notes
- Stream of Consciousness is a style of narration in which the thoughts of a character are relayed directly to the reader.
- Virginia Woolf uses Stream of Consciousness in Mrs Dalloway, more akin to that of a third-person omniscient narrator reporting a character’s inner monologue rather than the character doing it themselves.
- There is no real way of knowing what parts you are reading, nor does it matter, because the thoughts are put together to form a wholly informed picture of that character’s consciousness.
- The narrator, instead of the character, becomes the one to communicate the story to the reader.
- In Mrs Dalloway, the reader can only reach a relationship with the character through the narrator.
- This is because the character is not separate from the narra-tor but is wholly part of it.
- The narrator and the reader can interact without the charac-ter needing to be involved.
