3。1Shifting point of view
Woolf use a limited point of view as the main line, complementing each other from different angles through frequent conversion perspective。 The first point is to make the character more plump。 Traditional writer is adopted by the external type, the authors focus on the characters' appearance。 Characters are mainly set up through the characters' language, behavior, and the narrator's comments。 Such as the traditional classics novels A Dream in Red Mansions, the writer paid attention to Lin Daiyu’s beauty。 And Virginia Woolf are gradually show the novel by describing their conscious activity and the character in the consciousness of the others。 Such as the image of Mrs。Ramsey, it is set up by character’s different versions。 Novel’s main character Mrs。Ramsay came at the beginning of the novel, but Wolf did not use a specific large section of the content to introduce her appearance and character image in detail but by the consciousness of the different characters in the novel, constantly supplement and complete。 At the beginning of the novel, Mrs。Ramsey promises her son James that if weather is good tomorrow, she will take him to the lighthouse。 But they didn’t expected Mr。Ramsey said:“ It won’t be fine。” (Woolf 2005:15) Then next, Wolf writes a large section of the James consciousness。 From his consciousness he reveals his father rand greatly praised his mother。 There is a sentence can prove it:“ His wife, who has ten thousand times better in every way he was (James thought)”。 After Mr。Tansley and Mrs。Ramsey goes out, he appreciates that Mrs。 Ramsay is so friendly to him and he express his love from his consciousness。 A paragraph said like this:“ She stood quite motionless for a moment against a picture of Queen Victoria wearing the blue ribbon of the Garter, and all at once he realized that it was this—she was the most beautiful person he had ever seen。”In Tansley’s heart, Mrs。Ramsey is the symbol of noble and elegant。 The two roles filled up with Mrs。Ramsay's admiration of love, the novel describes the image of Mrs。Ramsay with the consciousness of others。
The second point of narrative perspective transformation is to expand the van with narrative, making the whole narrative works more free stretch。 In some cases, the different characters of consciousness will be staggered in a text at the same time, this also is a major highlight of this novel。 Such as in the first part of chapter 4。 [1] Now, for instance。 When Ramsay bore down on them, shouting, gesticulating, Miss Briscoe, he felt certain understood。 Someone had blundered。 (Woolf 2005:102) [2] Mr。 Ramsay glared at them。 He glared at them without seeming to see them。 (Woolf 2005:105) [3] That did make them both vaguely uncomfortable。 Together they had seen a thing they had not been meant to see。 They had encroached upon a privacy。 (Woolf 2005:113) [4] So, Lily thought, it was probably an excuse of his for moving, for getting out of earshot that made Mr。Bankes almost immediately say something about its being chilly and suggest taking a stroll。 (Woolf 2005:121) [5] She would come yes。 But it was with difficulty that we took her eyes off her picture。 (Woolf 2005:128) The first sentence is Mr。 Banks about lily speculation about Mr。Ramsey ode appearance, she is very calm, do not feel little strange。 The second sentence is described out of the story by the narrator: The three people made eye contact with each other, it shows that Mr。Ramsey feel surprised with seeing them。 At the same time, he is focusing on reading his poetry in excited state。 The third sentence is a common psychological feelings, Banks and lily for inadvertently ran into Mr。Ramsey's privacy and felt embarrassed。 The fourth sentence is Lily’s inner thought。 She thought that it may be the embarrassed of three people’s eye contact made he offer a suggestion: go out for a walk。 The last sentence is Lily’s answer to Mr。Bankes and she was reluctant to part from her drawing。 文献综述
