The modernist fiction privileges the subjectivity in contrast with traditional novel in which the important was the story. The modernist writer adopts different techniques to help the reader to be free. The reader must be free to has his personal idea of characters and it is possible using the technique called "eclipse of narrator". In the modernist fiction there is the 3rd omniscient narrator but it does not entre in contact with reader, who is not conditioned by narrator's filter and then he is free of making is own personal idea about he reads. The indirect free style is an other technique adopted by modernist novelist. It consists to report via indirect speech character's thoughts to make the reader to feel himself into character's mind. The importance of subjectivity is underlined by the different idea of time from Victorian period. In Modernist fiction there is the simultaneous concept of time. Through the technique called "stream of consciousness" the narrator reports character's feelings, emotions and thoughts which contain the all three time's dimensions: present, past and future. While in traditional novels there is the linear time arrangement and to express the step to one dimensions to an other the narrator must suspend the narration to open a digression which faces an issue about the character or the plot. One writer who considered the traditional way to write a novel wrong was Virginia Woolf and she denounced it in the essay Modernist Fiction taken by the Common Reader. The common reader is the person who reading a novel seeks the sense of life and is not possible find it in the traditional novel because it, following fees, not express what a common reader wants. If in traditional way the key word is "telling" because the narrator tells the story and the reader is obliged to listen, it in Modernist fiction the key word is "showing" because the narrator show a part of character's life leaving to the reader an imput to star a reflection about life and it's sense.
