Comprehension pag. 531

1.    At first reading Woolf’s fiction writing my reaction was a sense of confusion and complexity.  

2.    Really “it doesn’t happen nothing”. Indeed there isn’t a plot. The text doesn’t follow a chronological order, which in traditional fiction is given by the events happening instead of modernist fiction when the novelist wrote by the point of view of the character. In Monday or Tuesday the text is told by an heron’s point of view.

4.    Her objective is to show the reality as it is: “Is the reality like this?” (from V. Woolf’s The Common Reader) she was referring to the novel of 19^th century).

    She represent the reality how our mind see it, so she uses the technique of shifting of the perspectives: characters share the vision making the work of art that visible to others (from Nicole L. Urquhart’s  Moment of Being in V. Woolf’s Fiction)
