Stream of Consciousness · English Literature

Virginia Woolf's technique of 'tunnelling' is most closely related to stream of consciousness because it:

  1. Follows a character's physical journey underground into a literal tunnel
  2. It connects the present moment to a character's buried past via memory
  3. Uses strictly chronological storytelling to avoid reader confusion
  4. Focuses entirely on dialogue between two primary characters
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: It connects the present moment to a character's buried past via memory

Woolf used the 'tunnelling process' to provide depth to her characters. By digging into their past through memory while they navigate the present, she creates a multi-layered stream of consciousness.
