Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
The Waves is Woolf's experimental novel and one of the "greatest British novels to date". It blurs the boundaries between prose and poetry, using the rising and setting of the sun and the rise and fall of the waves to depict the inner monologues of six characters, Bernard, Neville, Louis, Susan, Jenny and Rhoda, from childhood to old age with highly symbolic strokes. It uses six parallel streams of consciousness to respectively express the six types of consciousness and the growth experience and experience of "six ages of man", expressing the exploration of concepts such as time, life and death, personality, self and group. Each character is completely different, but together they form a silent central consciousness, and for these characters, "it is simply impossible to number them in order, because it is difficult to separate one of them and bring out the overall effect".

Virginia Woolf
1882-1941
A famous British novelist, essayist, critic, publisher, a great pioneer of modernist and feminist literature in the 20th century, a core figure in the London literary world during the two world wars, and the organizer of the famous literary group "Bloomsbury School". She innovated the English language, abandoned the traditional novel structure, and tried to use the stream of consciousness writing method to try to depict the subconscious in people's hearts. The BBC once selected a list of "100 novels that shaped our world", and her representative works "To the Lighthouse", "Mrs. Dalloway" and "Orlando" were among them.

133 The sun has risen. She no longer lies on the green sea, occasionally glancing at the pearls and jade splashing outside...
185The sun has risen to the zenith. It is no longer a shadowy figure with only half of its face visible...
207The sun no longer shines in the sky,
The afterglow falls...
227The sun gradually sank in the sky, and the island of clouds gradually became thicker.
They just move through the sun...
259The sun sank lower and cracks appeared in the hard rocks of the day.
Let the daylight pour down from their fragments...
295At this moment, the sun has already set and the sea and sky have become one.
Interplay of beauty...
