The document discusses Virginia Woolf's use of stream of consciousness as a literary technique in her novel "To The Lighthouse." It provides examples from the novel to illustrate key aspects of stream of consciousness, such as having no first person narrator but presenting thoughts and feelings figurally through various characters. The text also examines Woolf's distinctive approach of integrating characters' present impressions with memories from the past. While stream of consciousness allows for a rich exploration of the inner worlds and changing perspectives of characters, it results in a plot that is less conventional and linear.
