The Interior Monologue

alessandra_raio — 2020-04-14 10:59:20 UTC

THE INTERIOR MONOLOGUE IS THE VERBAL EXPRESSION OF A PSYCHIC PHENOMENON, THE STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS

There are 4 types of INTERIOR MONOLOGUE

1. INDIRECT INTERIOR MONOLOGUE (the narrator maintains logical and grammatical organisation- V. Woolf)

2. DIRECT INTERIOR MONOLOGUE WITH TWO LEVELS OF NARRATION (one external to the character’s mind and the other internal – J. Joyce “Dubliners”, "Ulysses")

3. DIRECT INTERIOR MONOLOGUE WITH THE MIND LEVEL OF NARRATION (the character’s thoughts flow freely - Molly Bloom’s monologue in J. Joyce "Ulysses")

4. DIRECT EXTREME INTERIOR MONOLOGUE (words and free associations are fused to create new expressions – J. Joyce “Finnegans Wake” – the narration happens in the mind of the character while he is dreaming)

...and Gibraltar as a girl where I was a Flower of the mountain yes when I put the rose in my hair like the Andalusian girls used or shall I wear a red yes and how he kissed me under the Moorish wall and I thought well as well him as another and then I asked him with my eyes to ask again yes and then he asked me would I yes to say yes my mountain flower and first I put my arms around him yes and drew him down to me so he could feel my breasts all perfume yes and his heart was going like mad and yes I said yes I will Yes.

….e Gibilterra da ragazza dov’ero un Fior di montagna sì quando mi misi la rosa nei capelli come facevano le ragazze andaluse o ne porterò una rossa sì e come mi baciò sotto il muro moresco e io pensavo be’ lui ne vale un altro e poi gli chiesi con gli occhi di chiedere ancora sì allora mi chiese se io volevo sì dire di sì/ mio fior di montagna e per prima cosa gli misi le braccia intorno sì e me lo tirai addosso in modo che mi potesse sentire il petto tutto profumato sì e il suo cuore batteva come impazzito e sì dissi sì voglio sì.
