Viewpoints shifts from the external world to the character's mind
We were influenced by theories about the simultaneous existence of different levels of consciousness and sub-consciousness
TIME is subjective and internalt
Therefore, a well-structured plot is useless: no chronological sequence of events.
Therefore, the distinction between past and present is meaningless
The truth about the characters is revealed not by the passing of time but through:
Epiphany (Joyce) sudden revelation of an interior reality caused by trivial elements of everyday life
Moments of being (Woolf) moments in which an individual experiences a sense of reality, in contrast to the states of 'non-being' that dominate most of an individual's conscious life, in which they are separated from reality by a protective covering.
INTERIOR MONOLOGUE

Reproducing the flow of thoughts
DIRECT interior monologue (Joyce) no filter
INDIRECT interior monologue (Woolf) guidance by the author, unobtrusive omniscient narrator
Present characters' thoughts directly
