These two figures of the Modern Period are known for the use of stream of consciousness in their novels. This thesis demonstrates the common features such as free association and free indirect discourse used by these writers. However, they are taking different notions that reveal the diversity of their style in writing. Chapter one, entitled “The Use of Stream of Consciousness and Moment of Being in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse,” discusses feminist characters, the All-knowing point of view, and the moment of beings as a specific notion used by Woolf. Chapter two, entitled “The Application of Stream of Consciousness and Epiphany in James Joyce’s A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man” which identifies the aspect of focalization, the limited point of view, coming of age, interior monologue, and epiphany. The Stylistic approach is the appropriate method for this study, which bases on literary analysis and interpretation. Robert Humphrey’s Stream of Consciousness in the Modern Novel is one of the theories and perspectives that is taken as a concrete source to analyze the content of the novels as mentioned above. This research might pave the way for an additional study of the stream of consciousness in a rather consummately psychological perspective.enThesis
