American Literature / Unit 2 AML 0116 short lesson, about 20 seconds
Stream of Consciousness and Interior Monologue
Captions available
The idea
Stream of consciousness renders thought as it runs, with its leaps, fragments and associations left in. Interior monologue is the more ordered relative, a character thinking in sentences. Both belong to modernist fiction, and Faulkner's chapters are the American case the exam names.
In practice
Thought with the seams showing.
Where people slip
The disorder is composed, not transcribed.
