Narrative Technique in ‘To the Lighthouse’ 
Introduction: 
 ‘Stream of Consciousness’ narrative technique used 
by Virginia Woolf 
 It was first used by Philosopher William 
James in 1890 in his book ‘Principles of Psychology
 The related phrase ‘ Interior Monologue’ is used to 
describe in inner movement of Consciousness in a 
character’s mind 
 Indirect Interior Monologue 
 Direct Interior Monologue 
 The Consciousness being explored in the ‘Indirect’ method 
of Woolf is not always obvious
Characters presented through their own and 
through other’s consciousness: 
 Virginia Woolf saws us a particular person in this novel 
not only through the Consciousness of the other 
persons. 
We are given the interior monologues of the various 
characters in this novel, and it is largely through the 
twin devices of stream of consciousness and the 
interior monologue that we come to know the various 
characters.
 Rejection of traditional technique 
 Suspense and curiosity 
 Third person Narration 
“Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically 
arranged; life is a luminous halo, a 
semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from 
the beginning of consciousness to the end.” 
- Virginia Woolf
Conclusion: 
 Virginia Woolf has cleverly avoided the drawbacks of 
the stream of Consciousness novel, and given form 
and coherence to her material. She is not incoherent 
like the other “Stream of Consciousness” novelists. 
Indeed through her flexible style she fuses narrative 
and description of thought, imparts farm and unity, 
and conveys a sense of the amazing richness and 
complexity of life.

  • 4. Characters presented through their own and through other’s consciousness:  Virginia Woolf saws us a particular person in this novel not only through the Consciousness of the other persons. We are given the interior monologues of the various characters in this novel, and it is largely through the twin devices of stream of consciousness and the interior monologue that we come to know the various characters.
  • 5.  Rejection of traditional technique  Suspense and curiosity  Third person Narration “Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.” - Virginia Woolf
  • 6. Conclusion:  Virginia Woolf has cleverly avoided the drawbacks of the stream of Consciousness novel, and given form and coherence to her material. She is not incoherent like the other “Stream of Consciousness” novelists. Indeed through her flexible style she fuses narrative and description of thought, imparts farm and unity, and conveys a sense of the amazing richness and complexity of life.
