Conducting Patriarchal Reality in Feminine Consciousness

Written with stream of consciousness technique, Virginia Woolf’s The Mark on the Wall, displays its narrator as a character who seems to be lost in digressions into a free flowing consciousness that includes remarkable existential questions about self, social constraints, and gender roles. However the female narrator is free and content in her flow of ideas through her mind, her reality is reflected within a male world in which her ideas are entrapped by the patriarchal influence. A small mark on the wall becomes the center of many connections that represent the patriarchal domination in Woolf’s The Mark on the Wall. Narrator’s stream of consciousness embodies a rage against the domination of reality by the patriarchal system.
