| The aim of this thesis is to explore the perception of time in Virginia Woolf's novels To the Lighthouse, The Waves and Mrs. Dalloway. A clear distinction between mechanical clock time and psychological inner time which can be perceived in Mrs. Dalloway will be studied and compared to another vivid contrast expressed by the segments of the day in the novel The Waves. Coexistence of the past and the present as well as the stretching and contraction of time according to the mental state of the characters can be observed in the work To the Lighthouse. The idea and understanding of time in each of these novels is unique and the thesis will attempt to discuss it in relation to important late 19th and 20th centuries philosophical theories of time, primarily those of Henri Bergson and Paul Ricoeur. In addition, the impact of time and its perception on the experience and psychological being of the characters will be analyzed as well. |
