“…Looking at the flowers, at the trees with the smoke winding
off them and the rooks rising, falling; standing and looking until Peter Walsh
said, ‘Musing among the vegetables?’ –was that it?- ‘I prefer men to
cauliflowers’-was that it (3)?”
Woolf uses stream of consciousness throughout the entire
book. Every line is from a characters’ point of view in a jumbled sort of
written out thought pattern. This writing style was new to the era and wasn’t
often used, but Woolf’s story is often thought to be a response to James Joyce’s
Ulysses, which was written in a similar style.
