Characters are the Authors in Virginia Woolf's The Waves (1931)
Journal Title: UNKNOWN - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
The main purpose of this paper is to explore and examine the absence of an author in Virginia Woolf’s The Waves (1931) while applying Roland Barthe’s concept of ‘Death of the Author.’ This paper aims to explore the nine sections and the complex monologues of six characters while focusing on the movements of the sun from early morning till the nighttime. This research has tried to examine the absence of the author in the above-mentioned text to understand the six monologues, and characters who utter them and demonstrate their dissociation between the author and the text. This research is an attempt to explore the role of characters and how they delimit the author’s interference in the chameleonic status of social and psychological behaviors.
