Morphological Study Of Mrs. Dalloway

With the publication of Mrs.Dalloway,Woolf reached the peak of her works creation by using the techniques of the stream of consciousness.The novel is described as a “the poetry of life in a specific form”.The paper is based on the literary theory called the Novel Morphology which is a comprehensive subject of descriptiveness,and this theory takes the multi-layered modality of the novel which presents in Mrs.Dalloway as the object to study.With the aid of its methodology----the Analysis Hierarchy Process,it divides the text into three parts: the hierarchy of language,the hierarchy of structure and the hierarchy of materialization of the author's thought.The poetic language makes the linguistic modality show its distinct style;the cross of subjective and objective time and the two totally different but interdependent world in the views of coexistent characters build the modality of structure;the inner world which the author had experienced was recurred by the character's conscious activities,and the thinking modality of Woolf was presented by the alternate new techniques which belong to the stream of consciousness and the unexpected materials chosen by her.The three hierarchies in the context coagulate as the beauty of poetic and musical language,the beauty of tension produced by the narrative structure and the artful and unique beauty of the “taste” shown by the author's thoughts.So Mrs.Dalloway was built as a relatively complete art aesthetic modality,the conformability of modality reflects the living state with the coexistence of luxury and desolation of British in the twenties to a certain degree.
