Description
1931 VIRGINIA WOOLF 1ed The Waves Soliloquies Consciousness Individuality Unity
Virginia Woolfs 1931 novel, “The Waves,” is a pioneering exploration of consciousness and identity. The story is uniquely structured, unfolding through introspective soliloquies from six main characters. These introspections are interspersed with atmospheric third-person accounts of a coastal scene, progressing from dawn to dusk. While the six characters provide distinct insights into life, a silent seventh character, Percival, remains central yet voiceless. Woolf uses this format to delve into themes of individuality versus community, suggesting that while each person is unique, together they form a collective understanding of human existence.
