Mrs. Dalloway, a novel composed by Virginia Woolf after the Great War, paints the portrait of a single day in the life of an aristocratic 52-year-old married woman. Throughout the novel, Clarissa Dalloway is preparing for a social gathering that will take place at her home that evening. During this busy day in London, previous memories drift in and out of Mrs. Dalloway's mind. To accomplish such a feat, Virginia Woolf uses the complex writing technique known as "stream of consciousness" or "inner monologue." This technique is described as the main character's internal thoughts and the spoken dialogue in which the main character takes place, fused together to serve as the plot of the novel. Stream of consciousness helps the reader delve deeper into the thoughts of other characters, which then helps them become more involved in the plot. In Mrs Dalloway time is an extremely important factor. Readers will find themselves moving from the past to the present with each character, thus creating an awareness of time. Virginia Woolf uses stream of consciousness to influence the association between characters, the importance of time, and the point of view from which the story is told to deliver a work of fiction that breaks the barriers of a typical novel. Many of the characters in Mrs. Dalloway have unmistakable ties to each other with relationships dating back to their youth. Using different moments in time, an incident, a sound, or a sight, Virginia Woolf narrates each character. Therefore, the layout of the novel focuses on the connection of the various characters. “Was Evelyn sick again?

She used this writing technique to help the reader delve into the lives of the fictional individuals that make up Mrs. Dalloway. This novel chronicles a single day in the life of a woman, but by the end of the book the reader feels as if she has read the biography of every significant character. The reader witnesses the extraordinary association between characters with little or no physical relationship, the importance of time and how it controls the lives of many people, and the multiple perspectives through which the story is told. Virginia Woolf broke the barrier for future women writers by exercising this intricate method of exploring the natural and random pattern of the human mind.
